How would one cite this book in an academic resource? #327
changed the title [-]How would one cite this book in an academic resource[/-][+]How would one cite this book in an academic resource?[/+]on Aug 26, 2022
That seems OK. I probably would just leave a date accessed, the same as you might for a URL, or the date of the most recent commit when you viewed it. For author, "Rust Embedded Working Group & Contributors" or something like that would be fine.
@book{embedded-rust,
title = {The Embedded Rust Book},
author = {{Rust on Embedded Devices Working Group} and others},
date = {}, % intentionally left empty
url = {https://docs.rust-embedded.org/book/},
urldate = {2022-08-26},
}
which is correctly handled (in IEEE format) as: Rust on Embedded Devices Working Group et al., The Embedded Rust Book. [Online]. Available: https://docs.rust-embedded.org/book (visited on 26/08/2022).
Would it be useful if I add the preferred citation at the end of the Introduction in a pull request?
Ideally you'd write a CFF file with the same info, and then GitHub can parse it and render it to a bibtex or other formats depending on what people want. It looks like you could also just stick a CITATION.bib file in the repo root and it will at least offer 'Cite this repository' as an option, though without parsing or converting the file.

This is what I came up with:
Maybe the author would be 'Rust on Embedded Devices Working Group', but what could I put as date or the likes?

Thank you. I changed it to the following:

Looks good. Maybe the best way to add it to the repository would be via GitHub's built-in support for citations:

I chose to only PR the .bib file, due to the .cff file not supporting "et al." nor empty date fields. Feel free to let me know your thoughts.
