2.5 Citing Webots

When writing a scientific paper or describing your project involving Webots on a web page, we greatly appreciated if you add a reference to Webots, for example explicitly by mentioning Cyberbotics' web site or by referencing a journal paper describing Webots. To make this more simple, we provide here some citation examples, including BibTex entries that you can use in your own documents.

2.5.1 Citing Cyberbotics' web site

This project uses Webots, a commercial mobile robot simulation software developed by Cyberbotics Ltd.

This project uses Webots (http://www.cyberbotics.com), a commercial mobile robot simulation software developed by Cyberbotics Ltd.

The BibTex reference entry may look odd, as it is very different from a standard paper citation and we want the specified fields to appear in the normal plain citation mode of LaTeX.

@MISC{Webots,   AUTHOR = {Webots},   TITLE  = {http://www.cyberbotics.com},   NOTE   = {Commercial Mobile Robot Simulation Software},   EDITOR = {Cyberbotics Ltd.},   URL    = {http://www.cyberbotics.com} }

Once compiled with LaTeX, it should display as follows:

References

[1] Webots. http://www.cyberbotics.com. Commercial Mobile Robot Simulation Software.
