citing MATLAB

I am currently writing my thesis and will like to know if there is a
formal way (bibtex) to cite MATLAB. I have being looking on the
website and documentation but found nothing. Please help.
Thank you

Hi Paola,

It should be sufficient to cite as follows:

......software was developed using MATLAB (2007a, The MathWorks,
City, State)....

You'll need to find out where The MathWorks is based i.e. what city
and state and maybe put in the country as well. You'll also need to
include an R in circle in superscript at the end of the word MATLAB
everytime you use it, to signify that it is a registered trademark of
the MathWorks. I used this for my thesis, only it was LabVIEW not
MATLAB, and it was acceptable.

I believe that you only have to put the (R) registered trademark symbol
for the first mention of MATLAB. It is not necessary to do it every time.
