Any recommendations on how to reference FME in academic papers?

 

For comparison, QGIS has this guideline: https://www.qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/faq/index.html

Hi @hektopascal,

Please follow our Trademark Usage Guidelines for referencing FME within your paper. Then for the citation I don't believe we have any online guidance that covers this however I've spoken with our legal team and they recommend it should be something like

FME Software. Copyright (c) Safe Software Inc. www.safe.com

If you have any further questions related to this I'd suggest reaching out to our legal team directly via .


Petr Pokorny, Jan Kristian Jensen, Francis Gross, Kelly Pitera: "Safety effects of traffic lane and shoulder widths on two-lane undivided rural roads: A matched case-control study from Norway." Accident Analysis and Prevention (2020) vol 144 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aap.2020.105614

 

FME was instrumental for a) filtering, b) convex hull, c) overlay areas, d) topology analysis (finding junctions), e) creating rule sets for different classification, f) general data controll and massage. Not to forget that FME desktop is fantastic for iteratively develop and improve upon this processing chain.

 

Considering I also mangaged to get a PhD to scrap excel from his workflow and embrace qgis I consider this a BIG WIN.
