Hello everyone. I use Julia for my research. I’m finishing off a paper and it just occurred to me that I could cite Julia. Is there a paper reference or standard citation that the Julia team prefers for peer reviewed research that uses Julia? Thanks!

There is a [CITATION.bib](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/CITATION.bib) on the JuliaLang github repo. Friendly reminder to also include citations of packages that can be cited as well :D.
