Hi all,
I'd like to suggest, or request, a feature - I think that posting to galaxy-dev is the right place to start?
After I've done an analysis, it would be useful to be given a list of references for all the tools I used in that history, which I could use to cite the appropriate papers.
At the moment, it seems that most tool developers add a "please cite the following paper" note to the <help> tag in the wrapper so that it displays on the tool screen before you run it. I'd like to suggest: * adding a <cite> tag to the tool wrappers xml, * adding a feature to the history UI which will list all the references to cite for the a history.
I think this would encourage people to cite the tools they use properly and hence encourage developers to put their tools into the toolshed! With the standard tools moving into the toolshed it will be really important for tool wrappers to be maintained.
Any thoughts?

Hi Clare, We talked about this at the end of last year, and yes, it would be a good idea: http://lists.bx.psu.edu/pipermail/galaxy-dev/2011-December/007873.html Are you familiar enough with the area of semantic web/linked data to know what would be the best XML based markup to use for embedding the citations?
