* docs: add a How to Cite page with DOI and citation formats Add a dedicated citation section to the online documentation as requested in #701. The new docs/citation.md page documents the recommended citation, BibTeX and APA formats, the Zenodo concept DOI badge, and points to the existing CITATION.cff for GitHub's Cite this repository button. Wire it into the mkdocs Reference nav and add a matching Citation section to the README. Fixes #701 * Address Claude review feedback - Add the publication year (2026, from CITATION.cff date-released) to the recommended citation, BibTeX (year field), and APA entries in docs/citation.md, so dated-release citations render correctly and conform to APA 7's (YYYY) placement. - Mirror the year fix in the README Citation blockquote and wrap the bare DOI URL in <...> for style consistency with the docs page. * docs: use the full descriptive title in citation entries Update the cited title to GeoLibre: A lightweight, cloud-native GIS platform for visualizing, exploring, and analyzing geospatial data across the recommended citation, BibTeX, APA, and README blockquote.
