Citing Rubin/LSST Documents

Support
#1

I tried to access the Docushare site but was denied due to a limitation on the number of users. I am trying to get the correct way to cite the “Survey Cadence Optimization Committee’s Phase 3 Recommendations” for a paper. I couldn’t find instructions for that particular document elsewhere on the Rubin/LSST site.

Hi @sdcorle1 you can get a copy of that report at https://pstn-056.lsst.io.

We’re hoping to start getting DOIs for all of our documentation in the near future, but in the meantime this BibTeX item will hopefully get you started:

@TechReport{PSTN-056,
    author = "{The Rubin Observatory Survey Cadence Optimization Committee}",
    title = "{Survey Cadence Optimization Committee’s Phase 3 Recommendations}",
    institution = "{Vera C. Rubin Observatory}",
    year = "2025",
    month = "January",
    handle = "PSTN-056",
    type = "{Project Science Technical Note}",
    number = "PSTN-056",
    url = "https://pstn-056.lsst.io/"
}

Perfect, thanks.
