# Citing

If you use `unite` in your research, please cite it. This helps support the project and makes your work reproducible.

## Zenodo (software release)

All versioned releases of `unite` are archived on Zenodo:

> **<https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15585034>**

This DOI always resolves to the full release record where you can select a specific version. Zenodo generates BibTeX, APA, and other citation formats automatically on that page.

Example BibTeX entry (visit the link above to get the entry for a specific version):

```bibtex
@software{hviding_unite,
  author       = {Hviding, Raphael Erik},
  title        = {{unite}: Unified liNe Integration Turbo Engine},
  publisher    = {Zenodo},
  doi          = {10.5281/zenodo.15585034},
  url          = {https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15585034}
}
```

## NIRSpec Line Spread Function (LSF) data

If you use the NIRSpec LSF data provided by `unite`, please also cite the relevant source.

For the `point` source LSF, cite the paper that developed the forward-modeling methodology
for generating resolution curves for NIRSpec MSA spectroscopy:
