1.4.2 Quoting method

Here is the pattern for quoting external sources. To cite either a computer program or piece of source code it needs the following information:

  • Author(s) name (Individual or corporation)
  • Date
  • Title of program/source code
  • Code version
  • Type (e.g. computer program, source code)
  • Web address or publisher (e.g. program publisher, URL)

It needs to add a markdown cell in the following format:

Author, A. A. (Year). Name of the software or app (Version number) Publisher.
