That might work; it would be easier than what I was thinking, which would be to do something like put a CITATION section in docstrings that would get read if a citation command was run, or if a verbose- like option was set...although what you are suggesting wouldn't pick up linked libraries would

Yes, that is definitely a problem. But even having a simple citation() function would be an improvement - something that immediately says how to cite Sage itself, perhaps followed by citation information on other packages and what they are used for. It would be nice to have some sort of verbose

Surely the problem is (and it will get worse not better as Sage improves ;)) that users just may not know which constituents (3rd-party packages, i.e.spkgs) their Sage session has used. Are we asking that our users take the trouble to find out (using lots of ? and ?? commands) the complete set
