Citing MAGMA

If you use MAGMA to generate results in a journal article, you should acknowledge it, by citing:

W. Bosma, J. Cannon, and C. Playoust, `The Magma algebra system I: The user language', J. Symbolic Comput. 24 (1997), no. 3-4, 235-265. http://www.maths.usyd.edu.au:8000/u/magma/. Computational algebra and number theory (London, 1993).

A BibTeX database entry for this is:

@ARTICLE {Magma1997,
  author   = "Bosma, Wieb and Cannon, John and Playoust, Catherine",
  title    = "The {M}agma algebra system {I}: {T}he user language",
  journal  = "J. Symbolic Comput.",
  fjournal = "Journal of Symbolic Computation",
  volume   = 24,
  year     = 1997,
  number   = "3-4",
  pages    = "235-265",
  issn     = "0747-7171",
  url      = "http://www.maths.usyd.edu.au:8000/u/magma/",
  note     = "Computational algebra and number theory (London, 1993)",
}

A BibTeX style file that will handle the url field is: uwab.bst.
