That kind of use generally attracts a "using a computational algebra
system" since it's such a routine operation. In fact, people wouldn't blink
at no explanation at all or a comment about "manual computation".
Otherwise, on https://wiki.sagemath.org/Publications_using_SageMath
it lists the following code to figure out what components you use
(probably):
sage: from sage.misc.citation import get_systems
sage: get_systems("integrate(cos(x^2), x)")
['MPFI', 'ginac', 'GMP', 'Maxima']
If you don't have it enabled already, it will give you a warning that
cython profiling must be enabled to get reliable result. Indeed, in your
case it would only report "ginac" (really the form "pynac" that sagemath
uses for its symbolics) as well as "Maxima".
Note that this tool may identify externally developed software that is used
in sage, but it doesn't look at which parts of the sage library are used.
There are several state-of-the-art implementations made fully in the
sagemath library of very specialist algorithms. It makes sense to look at
authorship of some of the top-level routines you use to see if there are
papers you can find that describe the implementation (the documentation
does have literature references) and then refer to those papers, since in a
sense you are using their result.
