How to "properly cite" a library

Hi,

We are asked to properly cite the libraries. In order to do so, is it sufficient to give a link to the https://pypi.org/project/pip/ page containing the library in the README ?

Alternatively we could try to find the bibtext reference for each of them, and cite it in the report, i.e. something like this for gensim :
@inproceedings{rehurek_lrec,
title = {{Software Framework for Topic Modelling with Large Corpora}},
author = {Radim {\v R}eh{\r u}{\v r}ek and Petr Sojka},
booktitle = {{Proceedings of the LREC 2010 Workshop on New
Challenges for NLP Frameworks}},
pages = {45--50},
year = 2010,
month = May,
day = 22,
publisher = {ELRA},
address = {Valletta, Malta},
language={English}
}
But it seems a bit overkill to me...

Links in your ReadME are enough. It is also a good idea to cite crucial libraries in your report.

You can optionally add (max 1 sentence) in the Readme why you use every library. E.g.,

tqdm - terminal progress bar
higher - higher-order optimization in PyTorch
