Hello everyone, I’m working on an open source project as part of my Ph.D, the platform was done using elixir & phoenix, and I want to give the proper credits, there is any paper of book I can use to cite them?
Thank you

Maybe, but I hope that something like R’s citation() function to exists in elixir
citation()
To cite R in publications use:
R Core Team (2018). R: A language and environment for statistical
computing. R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria.
URL https://www.R-project.org/.
A BibTeX entry for LaTeX users is
@Manual{,
title = {R: A Language and Environment for Statistical Computing},
author = {{R Core Team}},
organization = {R Foundation for Statistical Computing},
address = {Vienna, Austria},
year = {2018},
url = {https://www.R-project.org/},
}
We have invested a lot of time and effort in creating R, please cite it
when using it for data analysis. See also ‘citation("pkgname")’ for
citing R packages.

Well, José Valim (the Creator of Elixir) and Chris McCord (the Creator of Phoenix) are not in Academia.
According to Wikipedia:
“R was created by Ross Ihaka and Robert Gentleman[17] at the University of Auckland”
So the situation is quite different. I would use something like:
@software{elixir,
author = {{Elixir Core Team}},
title = {Elixir},
url = {https://elixir-lang.org/},
version = {v1.8.2},
date = {2019-05-12},
}
@software{phoenix,
author = {{Chris McCord}},
title = {Phoenix Framework},
url = {https://phoenixframework.org/},
version = {v1.3},
date = {2018-07-13},
}
But the exact details will depend on the document class you are using with Latex/Bibtex.

Well, I was looking at papers from one of my favorite journals (Information and Software Technology) and it seems the preferred mode is to just include a footnote. See https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0950584918301216#fn0010 and in the image below.
