references - Citing QGIS in formal publications?


What is the best way to cite QGIS in a formal publication? I mean, what text should be included in the References / Literature Cited section of a paper or report.


I'm also specifically referring to the software itself, rather than the user's manual. I've looked in the user's manual and in Help->About, but I can't find an answer.
