# Citing catch22

A guide to citing catch22 in your publications.

If you use ***catch22*** in a scientific publication, please read and cite this open-access article:

{% hint style="success" %}
Lubba et al. [*catch22*: CAnonical Time-series CHaracteristics](https://doi.org/10.1007/s10618-019-00647-x), *Data Min Knowl Disc* **33**, 1821 (2019).
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: When presenting results using *catch22*, please identify the **version used** to allow clear reproduction of your results, because feature values can change between versions. For example, *catch22* v1.0 changed most feature values to match *hctsa* v3.0.0 exactly (see the [feature descriptions](/catch22/information-about-catch22/feature-descriptions.md)). If you use a language package (e.g., *pycatch22*), report both its version and the version of *catch22* it computes.
{% endhint %}

### BibTeX Entry (paper):

```
@article{Lubba2019:Catch22CAnonicalTimeseries,
	title = {catch22: {CAnonical} {Time}-series {CHaracteristics}},
	volume = {33},
	issn = {1573-756X},
	url = {https://doi.org/10.1007/s10618-019-00647-x},
	doi = {10.1007/s10618-019-00647-x},
	number = {6},
	journal = {Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery},
	author = {Lubba, Carl H. and Sethi, Sarab S. and Knaute, Philip and Schultz, Simon R. and Fulcher, Ben D. and Jones, Nick S.},
	month = nov,
	year = {2019},
	pages = {1821--1852},
}
```

### Citing the software version

In addition to the paper, you can cite the version of the *catch22* software that you used through its archived release on Zenodo:

* **A specific version** (recommended for reproducibility): *catch22* v1.1.0 is [10.5281/zenodo.23486909](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.23486909), v1.0.1 is [10.5281/zenodo.23486629](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.23486629), and v1.0.0 is [10.5281/zenodo.23485546](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.23485546) (all three give identical feature values).
* **All versions**: the concept DOI [10.5281/zenodo.4431165](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4431165) always resolves to the latest release.

Each Zenodo record provides a citation (including BibTeX) for that version.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://time-series-features.gitbook.io/catch22/welcome-to-catch22/citing-catch22.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
