How to cite

A paper describing Orthonym is in preparation. Until it is published, please cite the software.

GitHub’s Cite this repository button, built from CITATION.cff, gives the entry in APA and BibTeX. In BibTeX:

@software{orthonym,
  author  = {Rajan, Kohulan and Zielesny, Achim and Steinbeck, Christoph},
  title   = {{Orthonym}},
  version = {1.0.3},
  year    = {2026},
  doi     = {10.5281/zenodo.23044199},
  url     = {https://github.com/Steinbeck-Lab/Orthonym}
}

Every release is archived on Zenodo. The DOI 10.5281/zenodo.23044199 stands for all versions and resolves to the newest one.

Orthonym is built on the IUPAC 2013 recommendations, OPSIN, centres and RDKit. When you describe how a name was checked, please cite them too; the references are in the README, under Built on.
