A CITATION.cff file is provided at the repository root. GitHub renders this as a "Cite this repository" button on the repo page; reference managers (Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote, citation.js) read it directly. The file's preferred-citation block points at the WRR paper, so any tool that respects CFF will surface the paper as the primary citation automatically.

Both DOIs will be filled in via a metadata-only v1.0.1 patch release once the paper is accepted and assigned a journal DOI.
