Citation Guidance

If you use lrdbench in research, cite the software release and report enough benchmark metadata for another researcher to reproduce the comparison.

Software Citation

Use the repository CITATION.cff as the citation authority for the current public release. For manual reference lists, include:

  • software name: lrdbench;
  • author: Davian Chin;
  • version: 2.0.0;
  • DOI (concept, resolves to latest): 10.5281/zenodo.20937726;
  • repository: https://github.com/dave2k77/lrdbench;
  • license: MIT.

Releases are archived on Zenodo. Prefer the concept DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20937726, which always resolves to the latest archived version; to cite a specific version, use that version's DOI from the Zenodo record rather than a moving repository URL.

Benchmark Metadata to Report

For the audited confirmation study, report the producer, audit and manuscript source revisions, run identity and canonical summary hash in addition to the method settings. The sources are public on GitHub, but the full raw archive awaits deposition. Do not cite the software concept DOI as identifying these experiment results. The corrections are included in package release 2.0.0; 1.2.1 predates them.

For published comparisons, report:

  • lrdbench package version or Git commit;
  • public output contract version;
  • benchmark suite name or manifest path;
  • manifest_id;
  • estimator names and versions;
  • Python version and dependency environment;
  • generated manifest/environment.json;
  • generated artefacts/artefact_index.csv.

Method Citations

Also cite the original methodological references for estimators, generators, datasets, or observational sources used in a benchmark. lrdbench records estimator and source metadata, but it does not replace method-specific citations.
