[PD] how to cite the Pure Data in a research paper

Tue Sep 29 01:46:26 CEST 2009

To continue arguing the toss of a coin (sorry Frank, that wasn't just for you)...

Perhaps if you are going to "cite" Pure Data (proper nouns, capital letters, a name of something) then you should cite one of the following papers from Miller's website:

34. Puckette, M. 1996. "Pure Data: another integrated computer music environment." Proceedings, Second Intercollege Computer Music Concerts, Tachikawa, Japan, pp. 37-41.

36. Puckette, M. 1996. "Pure Data." Proceedings, International Computer Music Conference.. San Francisco: International Computer Music Association, pp. 269-272.

38. Puckette, M. 1997. "Pure Data: recent progress." Proceedings, Third Intercollege Computer Music Festival, Tokyo, Japan, pp. 1-4.

40. Puckette, M. and Apel, T. 1998. "Real-time audio analysis tools for Pd and MSP". Proceedings, International Computer Music Conference. San Francisco: International Computer Music Association, pp. 109-112.

43. Puckette, M. 2002. "Max at seventeen." Computer Music Journal 26(4): pp. 31-43. HTML... PDF

44. Puckette, M. 2002. "Using Pd as a score language." Proceedings, ICMC, pp. 184-187. HTML... PDF... Tex source

etc etc. Spot the deliberate mistake!

As an academic I'd say a citation refers to another publication, a reference in the bibliography to a related discussion.

Meanwhile, the name "Pure Data" should be enough to identify the software, or if you prefer "The Pure Data Computer Music System invented by Miller Puckette, UCSD"

That is enough academic pedantry for now I think!
