message: If you use this software, please cite it using this metadata.

# CITATION.cff files describe how to cite software or datasets, with the goal of
# making software and data be citable in their own right. However, sometimes
# projects want citations to go to a paper instead. 'Preferred-citation' serves
# to communicate that. The distinction matters in different situations. If this
# field is present, GitHub uses the value for the "cite this repository" button
# and ignores the rest of this file; conversely, the Zenodo-GitHub integration
# ignores this field when creating an entry for a new software release because
# the Zenodo entry is specifically about the software in this repository.
