Dear Marcos

Sorry for the long delay. We have been discussing amongst ourselves the best way to cite the software. For the moment the below will work as a citation:

@misc{SEPAL 2020,
  author = {FAO},
  title = {SEPAL},
  year = {2020},
  publisher = {GitHub},
  journal = {GitHub repository},
  howpublished = {\url{https://github.com/openforis/sepal}},
  commit = {074f4c2913c02b43d2bbe908a0b751e2b4dd0052}
}

We are ultimately working towards having a DOI, etc.

Hope that is helpful.

Erik
