Re: Citation of gnuplot in a scientific publication

[Juhász P. <pet...@gm...>]

I agree, but the journal I'm submitting to has a strict policy on
reference format: it's either "Author1, X and Author2, Y", or "Author1
et al.", and I have to cite as "Author, year" in the text.

Perhaps I should take a leaf out of R's book? They have a recommendation
for citation, in which they list the author as "R Development Core
Team".

In our case "gnuplot development team" would be neutral and it would
reflect reality as well.
