Acknowledgment

We request that any academic report, publication, or other academic disclosure of results derived from the use of this software acknowledge the use of the software by an appropriate acknowledgment or citation.

The whole LALSuite software suite can be cited with the DOI 10.7935/GT1W-FZ16. An example BibTeX entry could look like this:

 @misc{lalsuite,
       author         = "{LIGO Scientific Collaboration} and {Virgo Collaboration} and {KAGRA Collaboration}",
       title          = "{LVK} {A}lgorithm {L}ibrary - {LALS}uite",
       howpublished   = "Free software (GPL)",
       doi            = "10.7935/GT1W-FZ16",
       year           = "2018"
 }

The Python/Octave interfaces to LALInspiral are described in this paper:

 @article{swiglal,
          title     = "{SWIGLAL: Python and Octave interfaces to the LALSuite gravitational-wave data analysis libraries}",
          author    = "Karl Wette",
          journal   = "SoftwareX",
          volume    = "12",
          pages     = "100634",
          year      = "2020",
          doi       = "10.1016/j.softx.2020.100634"
 }

In addition, some codes contained in this package may be directly based on one or several scientific papers, which should be cited when using those specific codes; some of these can be discovered through the documentation.
