Citation and archival

gpbiometricspy is archived through Zenodo.

Current citation state: Python release 0.1.8 was published on 2026-10-04 from exact stable source 32cafd5565bdf4a7575dcf5c5d6bb2bfbe101e5d. The software concept DOI remains 10.5281/zenodo.22150872. A 0.1.8 version DOI will be recorded only after Zenodo genuinely ingests and exposes the immutable v0.1.8 GitHub release.

Cite the Python software

For reproducibility, cite the exact software release used.

Until Zenodo mints and exposes a genuine 0.1.8 version DOI, cite the immutable v0.1.8 release together with version 0.1.8 and the software concept DOI.

GitHub reads CITATION.cff for its Cite this repository control. The 0.1.8 metadata is pinned to version 0.1.8 and release date 2026-10-04; its DOI field remains deliberately absent until genuine Zenodo minting is verified.

Published gpbiometrics paper

The peer-reviewed paper describing the original R package is:

Balaskas, S. gpbiometrics: An R Package for Reproducible Analysis and Reporting of Gazepoint Biometrics Exports. Signals 2026, 7, 86. https://doi.org/10.3390/signals7050086

This article documents the R gpbiometrics package that provides the scientific and software lineage for gpbiometricspy. When an analysis uses the Python package, cite the relevant gpbiometricspy software version as well; the R-package article is a related publication rather than a substitute for the Python software citation.

R reference provenance

The frozen semantic reference is gpbiometrics 2.0.0, independently archived at DOI 10.5281/zenodo.21434608.

That DOI identifies the R reference package. .zenodo.json preserves it with relation isDerivedFrom, so the Python and R software objects remain distinct.

Metadata files

  • CITATION.cff identifies version 0.1.8 and release date 2026-10-04; the version DOI remains absent until genuine Zenodo minting.
  • .zenodo.json identifies software version 0.1.8 and preserves the R-reference provenance relationship.
  • pyproject.toml retains the software concept DOI and independently verified historical DOI links; no unverified 0.1.7 or 0.1.8 version DOI is invented.
  • README and documentation retain prior verified version DOIs for reproducible citation.

Interpretation

A Zenodo DOI provides a persistent identifier for a software archive. It does not replace the package's scientific validation evidence, which remains documented under Parity & validation and Deep validation.
