Acknowledging or Citing Astropy

In Publications

If you use Astropy for work/research presented in a publication (whether directly, or as a dependency to another package), we ask that you cite the Astropy Paper (ADS - BibTeX). We provide the following as a standard acknowledgment you can use if there is not a specific place to cite the paper:

This research made use of Astropy, a community-developed core Python package for Astronomy (Astropy Collaboration, 2013).

If you wish, you can also include a link to http://www.astropy.org (if the journal allows this) in addition to the above text.

In Presentations

If you are giving a presentation or talk featuring work/research that makes use of Astropy and would like to acknowledge Astropy, we suggest using this logo on your title slide:

The logo is also available with white text, or the SVG originals can be obtained at the astropy-logo github repository.

In Projects

If you are using Astropy as part of a code project (e.g., affiliated packages), a useful way to acknowledge your use of Astropy is with a badge in your README. We suggest this badge:
