I used EXIFTOOL for scientific research and would like to know how to cite it. Thanks!
I don't know. How do you cite software in a research publication?

As mentioned to by the Journal of Statistical Software guidelines, software providers, especially those writing software within a research environment, may provide a recommended, or required, citation format for any researcher who uses the software within their research. This ensures that the provider's contribution to the research is acknowledged. For example, the authors of the R open source statistical programming language and environment provide a BibTeX entry in their FAQ that can be used if citing R
@Manual{,
title = {R: A Language and Environment for Statistical Computing},
author = {{R Development Core Team}},
organization = {R Foundation for Statistical Computing},
address = {Vienna, Austria},
year = 2011,
note = {{ISBN} 3-900051-07-0},
url = {http://www.R-project.org}
}
So, perhaps you could just fill in these fields for me (i.e. title = ...) and I'll just add the reference to my citation database.
Thanks!
OK, try this:
title = {ExifTool},
author = {{Phil Harvey}},
address = {Kingston, Ontario, Canada},
url = {https://exiftool.org/},
year = 2016
