How to reference and cite the STRATA Protocol framework in academic and professional work.

The STRATA Protocol is a governed framework for structured, traceable, and repeatable AI-assisted software delivery, created and maintained by Florante Pascual. If you reference the STRATA Protocol in academic or professional work, please cite it as described below.

What to cite

Cite the framework by its name, author, and canonical home. The authoritative publication is the documentation portal at strataprotocol.org; the versioned source-of-record is the public documentation repository, which is what permanent archival and citation identifiers point to.

The framework has a permanent Zenodo DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20939882. This concept DOI always resolves to the latest version. To cite version 1.0.0 specifically, use 10.5281/zenodo.20939883.

Citation formats

Use whichever format your publication or reference manager requires. Each entry cites version 1.0.0 — the framework's initial public release.
