Abstract
Software citation contributes to achieving software sustainability in two ways: It provides an impact metric to incentivize stakeholders to make software sustainable. It also provides references to software used in research, which can be reused and adapted to become sustainable. While software citation faces a host of technical and social challenges, community initiatives have defined the principles of software citation and are working on implementing solutions.
