Indeed! This publication is very good news, and I am happy that free software acquires such a prominent place in the academic citation space.
On the other hand, notice that scipy is in large part an interface. The underlying solvers (e.g., numpy.linalg.solve) are often routines written in Fortran several decades ago, and already duly cited and academically recognized.
- mattip 7y agoThere is tremendous value that often goes unrecognised in taking best of brand routines and packaging them so real people can use them, consistently and reliably over decades.
- enriquto 7y agoSure, that's why people keep doing that: taking the same exact Fortran routine and giving the world access to it from whatever different languages and frameworks are fashionable.
