Specific Matlab version
The preferred option of how to cite Matlab is to cite documentation of the given version you are using. The used version of Matlab can be found with the command version called directly in Matlab. Example for version 2010a follows:
Citation in APA style
Citation in Vancouver style
Citation in Harvard style
Citation in Bibtex format
year = {2010},
author = {MATLAB},
title = {version 7.10.0 (R2010a)},
publisher = {The MathWorks Inc.},
address = {Natick, Massachusetts}
}
Copy
In the same way you can cite any other version of Matlab, for example version 2018b:
Citation in APA style
Citation in Vancouver style
Citation in Harvard style
Citation in Bibtex format
year = {2018},
author = {MATLAB},
title = {9.7.0.1190202 (R2019b)},
publisher = {The MathWorks Inc.},
address = {Natick, Massachusetts}
}
Copy
Other options
In specific cases, citing a popular book or textbook about Matlab could be better approach. It really depends on the context and target audience of you paper. Example follows
Citation in APA style
Citation in Vancouver style
Citation in Harvard style
Citation in Bibtex format
title={MATLAB guide},
author={Higham, Desmond J and Higham, Nicholas J},
volume={150},
year={2016},
