How to cite SynHydro

If you use SynHydro in your research, please cite the version you used. Two DOIs identify the software: a concept DOI that always resolves to the latest version (10.5281/zenodo.22759483), and a version DOI for the specific release (10.5281/zenodo.22759484 for 0.1.0).

Amestoy, T. (2026). SynHydro: Synthetic hydrologic timeseries generation
in Python (Version 0.1.0) [Computer software]. Zenodo.
https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.22759484

@software{amestoy_synhydro_2026,
  author    = {Amestoy, Trevor},
  title     = {{SynHydro}: Synthetic hydrologic timeseries generation in Python},
  version   = {0.1.0},
  year      = {2026},
  publisher = {Zenodo},
  doi       = {10.5281/zenodo.22759484},
  url       = {https://github.com/TrevorJA/SynHydro}
}

The concept DOI (10.5281/zenodo.22759483) is the one to put in a README or a data availability statement that should keep pointing at the newest release. Cite the version DOI in a paper so readers can reproduce the exact code that generated your ensembles. Ensembles saved with Ensemble.to_hdf5() record the SynHydro version that produced them in the synhydro_version attribute.

The repository also ships a CITATION.cff file, which GitHub renders as "Cite this repository" and Zenodo reads when archiving a release.

Citing the methods

Each generator and disaggregator implements a published method. When you use one, cite its source paper as well. The primary reference is listed at the top of every algorithm page and in the reference list.
