Dear Community,
I am going to write a scientific article where I heavily used the D programming language and the MIR/LUBECK numerical libraries. How should I properly cite them in the following sentence?

"
All steps detailed in Section 2.1 were implemented into a parallel computer code written in the D programming language.[REF1] The systems of linear equations specified in eqn. (2) were solved using the MIR[REF2] and LUBECK numerical libraries.[REF3]
"

Thank you!

Thank you!

Here is the standard reference for citations of R packages. Something similar should work for you. At a minimum, add a footnote with a link.

I think Mir and Lubeck are written in a normal mode, without capitalization.
Not like BLAS and LAPACK - https://tour.dlang.org/tour/mir/dub/lubeck
Probably better to ask Ilya on the GitHub pages.

And please share your results in case they will be published somewhere :)

The OP might also mention that Lubeck is largely a wrapper over BLAS and LAPACK.

It is possible for Github to add citation information as described here. You add one file to the repo, and ff you create CITATION.cff using the web interface, it even provides you with a template.

Dear D community,

once again - thank you so much for your help. As promised, I am sharing the link to the scientific article where I extensively used the D programming language. I hope I referenced everything correctly.

If anyone is interested in the full text, please feel free to drop me an e-mail.
