本文提供软件引用的实用入门指南，涵盖引用他人软件和使自身软件可被引用的工作流程，旨在降低实践障碍，推动软件获得应有的学术认可。
AI 中文摘要
软件支撑着几乎所有现代研究，然而软件的引用实践仍然不一致且常常不足。这份简短的入门指南提供了两个方向的实用指导：如何正确引用你在研究中使用的软件，以及如何让你的软件便于他人引用。我们描述了引用软件的七步工作流程和使你的软件可被引用的五步工作流程，以及支持每一步的社区工具和资源。我们还解决了关于引用什么软件以及引用多少软件的常见问题。该指南与领域无关；我们全程以天文学作为运行示例，其他学科的读者可以替换自己社区中相应的工具和惯例。我们的目标是降低良好软件引用实践的实际障碍，并支持一种研究文化，在这种文化中，软件获得其应得的学术认可。
英文摘要
Software underlies virtually all modern research, yet citation practices for software remain inconsistent and often inadequate. This short primer offers practical guidance in two directions: how to properly cite the software you use in your research, and how to make your own software easy for others to cite. We describe a seven-step workflow for citing software and a five-step workflow for making your software citeable, along with the community tools and resources that support each step. We also address common questions about what software, and how much, to cite. The guidance is field-independent; we use astronomy as a running example throughout, and readers in other disciplines can substitute the equivalent tools and conventions of their own community. Our goal is to lower the practical barrier to good software citation practice and to support a research culture in which software receives the scholarly credit it deserves.
