Documentation: Citation Instructions for OpenFOAM (ESI Group)

Hi,

There are many ways to reference OpenFOAM versions in an academic work, yet almost all of them are heuristic, to name but a few: https://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/openfoam/147217-how-do-i-cite-openfoam-documentation.html#post527834 ; https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/FAQ/General ;

Is there any chance for OpenCFD to officially provide some instructions to the users on how to properly reference OpenFOAM, preferably single way?

IMHO, this might also be useful to OpenFOAM to quantify its (academic) impact in the long term.

Kind regards,

PS: Some examples: https://www.ansys.com/en-gb/academic/terms-and-conditions https://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~potts/nfft/doc.php
