How to cite pyrosm#

If you use pyrosm in academic research, reports, or other published work, please cite it. Citing the software helps others find it and gives credit for the development effort.

Pyrosm is archived on Zenodo, which provides a permanent, citable DOI.

Note

The DOI 10.5281/zenodo.3755057 always resolves to the latest version of pyrosm (the “all versions” concept DOI). The Zenodo record also mints a separate DOI for each individual release, so you can cite the exact version you used if you prefer.
