Talk:Citing Files from the File Exchange
Authored by the MATLAB and Simulink user community on the MATLAB Wiki.
I would also like a standard that can briefly and yet uniquely reference a submission. John's surface fitting submission could be referenced as
1) Like on our Wiki page:
- FileEx:8998
Using only the file ID, this is very concise but not descriptive.
2) Author + submission title:
- "Surface Fitting using gridfit" by John D'Errico (http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/8998)
This format is longer but more descriptive, and should be enough to uniquely reference a submission. It may still be a little too sparse, as it doesn't tell that the submission was retrieved on May 18, 2006.
3) Some other permutation of author, title, file ID, and date?
