Jun 19, 2016 at 20:32 comment added Erkin Alp Güney If it is about entire OS, the right citation would be "Canonical et al, Ubuntu GNU/Linux, Isle of Man, 2004-2016" . Do not forget to also cite GNU and Linux.
Jun 11, 2016 at 17:56 comment added terdon Sure, but the question isn't about the OS or about any services (like Launchpad, or UbuntuOne) offered by Canonical. It's about whether the OS should be cited in an Academic paper and, if it should, what format the citation should take. Both questions would be better served on Academia.SE.
Jun 11, 2016 at 17:55 comment added Tim @terdon Yes, it is a service provided by Ubuntu. The OS is a pretty big service.
Jun 11, 2016 at 17:29 comment added terdon But this isn't a "service provided by Canonical" at all! This is about whether one should cite the OS they happened to use in an academic paper. It has absolutely nothing to do with Ubuntu (and the answer is o, of course you shouldn't cite it).
