Citing IRAF in paper

will.flanagan wrote on May 11, 2009

Hi IRAFers,

I was wondering if there is any standard way of citing IRAF in a paper. From the papers I've seen, it seems most common just to say something like "we made use of IRAF packages x, y, and z. NOAO pays the bills for IRAF." in the body of the text.

I was just curious if there was a standard way to cite IRAF in a bibliography.

Cheers and thank for any suggestions,
Will
CTIO/University of Colorado

Cheers fitz!

Thats exactly the sort of thing I was looking for. I'm down at CTIO, so I was hoping to give some credit to the NOAO IRAF people if/when we publish.
