When writing papers, is there a standard style that should be used for citing ArcGIS, specifically ArcMap?
In particular, how do you reference a specific tool that you used in your analysis. I'm not referring to the citation style being used specifically in the paper.
Esri mention how to cite data produced from them, but I could not find any advice regarding citing the software.
Answer
There are formats for citing software, see for example this question on tex.SE. Whether you should cite them depends on the publication venue, but particularly where the specific implementation is non-obvious it is a helpful thing to include. In this case, the citation would look something like:
ESRI 2011. ArcGIS Desktop: Release 10. Redlands, CA: Environmental Systems Research Institute.
