Make your software citable in 5 minutes

Citey is a browser extension and toolkit that turns software citation into a single-button action for researchers. Get your software into the database in four steps.

  1. 1

    Read about software citation

    Why software citation matters, what to cite, and which standards Citey enforces. Skim it once — five minutes.

  2. 2

    Generate a CITATION.cff for your repo

    Create the standard Citation File Format file. GitHub renders a “Cite this repository” button when this file is present at the root of your repo.

  3. 3

    Generate a codemeta.json for your repo

    Create the JSON-LD metadata file that software registries (Software Heritage, JOSS, etc.) consume for indexing.

  4. 4

    Add your repo to Citey's database

    Paste your repo URL. Citey reads the files you just committed, builds a citation, and opens a pull request for you.
