title: Software Citation Station helper script
---

Proof-of-concept [`generate_citation.py`](https://github.com/zonca/software_citation/tree/main/softare_citation_station#readme) in the `software_citation` repo pulls PyPI metadata plus repo CITATION files to produce the Markdown block that [Software Citation Station](https://www.tomwagg.com/software-citation-station/) expects. Run it on your package, fix the `FIXME`s, submit the snippet.
