TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
If you use software to manipulate data (i.e., to create 3-D graphs or
plots) for a scientific study, should you document the software in your
references section? Also, should you cite the software like you would
another source in the text?
I know what information I need to include in a reference, but I don't know
that I need to document the use of the software other than by mentioning it
in the methods section.
If you feel this is inappropriate for the list, please respond off list.
Thanks,
Robyn L. Remington
