Cite Numra.

If Numra contributed to your work — research papers, theses, benchmarks, or technical reports — please cite it. A correct citation makes your work reproducible and helps sustain the library.

Recommended citation.

Numra ships a CITATION.cff at the repository root. GitHub's "Cite this repository" button and Zenodo both consume it. The two snippets below are equivalent.

DOI.

Numra v0.1.5 is archived on Zenodo with two DOIs:

• Concept DOI (all versions; resolves to the latest release): 10.5281/zenodo.20159709
• Version DOI (this specific 0.1.5 release): 10.5281/zenodo.20338318

For most citation use cases, prefer the concept DOI — references stay current as new versions are released. The version-specific DOI is appropriate when reproducibility against a particular numerical implementation matters.

Why citation matters.

Open scientific software depends on citations the same way open scientific papers do. A cited library is a maintained library: citations show up in funding applications, hiring cases, and grant renewals. A short citation is the cheapest way to keep the library you rely on healthy.
