Cite Numra.

If Numra contributed to your work — research papers, theses, benchmarks, or technical reports — please cite it. A correct citation makes your work reproducible and helps sustain the library.

Recommended citation.

Numra ships a CITATION.cff at the repository root. GitHub's "Cite this repository" button and Zenodo both consume it. The two snippets below are equivalent.

BibTeX

@software{numra,
  author       = {Leblouba, Moussa},
  title        = {{Numra: Composable Numerical Methods for Rust}},
  year         = {2026},
  publisher    = {Spectral Automata},
  url          = {https://numra-rs.org},
  note         = {Software, version 0.1.0}
  % doi       = {10.5281/zenodo.XXXXXXX}
  % Uncomment and populate once the first Zenodo release is published.

DOI.

A Zenodo DOI is minted on the first GitHub release after the Zenodo integration is enabled. Until then, the BibTeX entry above leaves the doi field commented out. Once a DOI exists, this page will list both the all-versions concept DOI (preferred for citation) and per-version DOIs (for reproducibility).

Why citation matters.

Open scientific software depends on citations the same way open scientific papers do. A cited library is a maintained library: citations show up in funding applications, hiring cases, and grant renewals. A short citation is the cheapest way to keep the library you rely on healthy.
