## Machine-readable metadata

The repository root contains a
[`CITATION.cff`](https://github.com/acanbay/mergen/blob/main/CITATION.cff)
file with the same information in the Citation File Format. GitHub
renders it under the "Cite this repository" button, and reference
managers can import it directly.

When citing a specific analysis, please also record the Mergen version
and the random seed used, so the design can be reproduced exactly.
