Citing

Great to hear that you have made use of Animate, Goalie, and/or Movement in your research! Thank you for citing the software and supporting open source software.

Instructions for creating a release for one of the packages

For the purpose of this section, let's refer to whichever of Animate, Goalie, and Movement you want to cite as <package>.

1. Go to https://github.com/mesh-adaptation/<package>.
2. Click "create a new release" on the right hand side.
3. Select the branch and/or commit you want to release and add a title and description.
4. Create a tag for your release using the drop-down menu. We recommend creating a new tag with the format <Package>_YYYYMMDD, e.g., Animate_20240415.
5. Make an actual release (not a pre-release) for Zenodo to notice.
6. Click the green "Publish release" button.
