@maphew @pubpub-zz @mstamy2 @exiledkingcc What do you think about this guide how to cite PyPDF2?

Examples for other software:

  • Numpy: A lot of people are mentioned, but by far not all. They wrote a white-paper
  • Scipy: They mention "SciPy 1.0 Contributors"
  • Tensorflow: A whitepaper on Zenodo
  • Lasagne

looks good. perhaps add also a link to the github contributors page to have a dynamic list of the contributors and be sure to not forget anyone

@pubpub-zz I've replaced the URL by the contributors page URL

and be sure to not forget anyone

The contributors page is for sure missing a lot of people. I will add the once which I perceive as the most important ones (the people who I have added as authors into bibtex directly - but even there I'm not sure if I might have forgotten people)

My recommendation that if you wanted to make PyPDF2 citable, you should add it to zenodo. Having a permanent DOI that one can use to reference back to a work is nice for a number of reasons in my experience.

you should add it to zenodo

I think that's a good idea. I'll do that once we merged back into pypdf
