The preferred method of citing h5preserve is to cite the JOSS Paper, for which the bibtex entry is below:
@article{h5preserve,
doi = {10.21105/joss.00581},
url = {https://doi.org/10.21105/joss.00581},
year = {2018},
month = {feb},
publisher = {The Open Journal},
volume = {3},
number = {22},
pages = {581},
author = {James Tocknell},
title = {h5preserve: Thin wrapper around h5py, inspired by camel},
journal = {The Journal of Open Source Software}
}DOIs of individual releases can be found on Zenodo, which can be cited in addition to the JOSS paper.
We also strongly encourage citing the dependencies of h5preserve, numpy and h5py.
