Scientific citation

[deisi]

Hey, I use altair for a plot in an upcoming scientific publication of mine. I want to know if there is any way for me to reference altair in the acknowledgements. Like e.g. matplotlib: https://matplotlib.org/citing.html

Sure, see https://github.com/altair-viz/altair#citing-altair

[jakevdp]

You might also cite https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1109/TVCG.2016.2599030, which Altair is based on.

Ah sry for not finding this. Thx for the link.

@jakevdp : it might be nice to add these links to https://altair-viz.github.io/. I was trying to find a "how to cite" section there. Thanks!

Thanks @flaneuse ! I opened #2660 to track this.
