Hi Nazmul - If you use the GNU Radio GIT master and update it regularly, I
think that
GNU Radio Website, accessed February 2012. [Online]. Available:
http://www.gnuradio.org
is complete enough, since it refers to both the project in general as well as
the code. If you use a specific version (e.g., of the GIT master or a release
such as 3.5.1), you'd probably want to state that just to make it clear. The
(La)TeX markup that I use for the above is:
@misc{url:gnu-radio,
author = "{GNU Radio Website}",
year = "{accessed February 2012}",
url = {http://www.gnuradio.org}
}
The important parts for any URL-based citation such as this are: (0) The
project name, with any distinguishing characteristics needed to make it unique
(such as the version number or extended name if there are more than 1 projects
using a similar name); (1) when you last accessed the URL, since websites do
change and sometimes you won't have accessed it for a while before you
submitted the paper; and (2) a valid URL as of the month of last access (for
example, the above URL works with or without the trailing '/', while others
require it). That said, before I submit such a paper I always work through the
URLs and update their info, verifying each one to make sure it is still valid &
if not then figuring out the correct URL.
Hope this helps! - MLD
