@Marvin is there a preferred way of citing prefect in an academic publication / paper?

It seems that my initial search didn't return anything specifically outlining a preferred citation format for Prefect in academic publications. However, citing software in academic research typically follows general guidelines which may not be explicitly documented in Prefect's documentation or website. As a rule of thumb, you might want to include: 1. The name of the software (Prefect). 2. The version number if relevant (e.g., Prefect 2.x). 3. The year of release or access. 4. The URL for the software (such as `https://www.prefect.io/`). Depending on the citation style you are using (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.), the format might differ slightly. For example, in APA style, you might format it as follows: Prefect. (Year). Version 2.x [Software]. Available from

<https://www.prefect.io/>

. Since the specific citation recommendations are not provided by Prefect's documentation, I would recommend you to confirm this format with your publication's guidelines or check a style guide for citing software in your field. To look for more information about Prefect which might be relevant to your citation, you may want to directly browse the Prefect documentation at https://docs.prefect.io/ or use specific queries in search engines. If there is a formal paper or report describing Prefect by its creators, that could also be cited according to academic standards.

Thanks for that. I was more wondering whether there was an existing prefect description paper that I could cite or whether there was a specific text phrase to add to the acknowledgments section of my paper.
