Citation suggestion for Kranc

[Zach Etienne]

Currently the ET citations webpage

https://einsteintoolkit.org/citation.html

only lists the Kranc webpage as the Kranc reference. This seems curious, as there’s no mention of the Kranc paper:

https://inspirehep.net/literature/647701

Shouldn’t the paper be added to the list?

[Roland Haas]

My recollection is that Ian says that the Kranc paper is "old and
outdated". Though kranccode.org does say (http://kranccode.org/))

"We request that you cite our 2006 Kranc paper if you use Kranc, or
Kranc-generated code, in a scientific publication."

We currently list nothing for Kranc actually. Only for McLachlan.

[Ian Hinder]

It is old and outdated, but I don’t think that’s a good reason to omit it. I’m not sure what the logic was - maybe we were trying to avoid asking people to cite too many things? I can’t think of a reason not to cite the Kranc paper now. @Erik Schnetter @Peter Diener do you remember any details of this decision?

[Erik Schnetter]

I do not recall. I suggest to ask people to cite the paper as web pages are ephemeral.

[Roland Haas]

Possibly there was the anticipation of an updated reference with more authors listed? The paper has as authors: Sascha, Ian, Christiane, while the website adds Erik and Barry.

A requested-for entry may look like this (the entry is already in einsteintoolkit.bib only the requested-for / suggested-for tag is missing):

@Article{Husa:2004ip,
  requested-for ={Kranc},
  author =       "Husa, Sascha and Hinder, Ian and Lechner,
                  Christiane",
  title =        "{Kranc: a Mathematica application to generate
                  numerical codes for tensorial evolution equations}",
  journal =      "Comput. Phys. Commun.",
  volume =       174,
  year =         2006,
  pages =        "983-1004",
  eprint =       "arXiv:gr-qc/0404023",
  SLACcitation = "%%CITATION = GR-QC/0404023;%%"
}

and a suggested-for one

@Article{Husa:2004ip,
  suggested-for ={Kranc},
  author =       "Husa, Sascha and Hinder, Ian and Lechner,
                  Christiane",
  title =        "{Kranc: a Mathematica application to generate
                  numerical codes for tensorial evolution equations}",
  journal =      "Comput. Phys. Commun.",
  volume =       174,
  year =         2006,
  pages =        "983-1004",
  eprint =       "arXiv:gr-qc/0404023",
  SLACcitation = "%%CITATION = GR-QC/0404023;%%"
}

[Peter Diener]

I don’t remember any details either. Asking for citations to the paper seems reasonable.

[Roland Haas]

@Ian Hinder could you either add (as shown above) or let me know which one of the suggested-for or requested-for tag to einsteintoolkit.bib in manifest?
