Citing WordSmith
The date: WordSmith evolves gradually and is re-issued very often (about once a week). When you check your version and get the very latest one you are updating and thereby altering slightly the program, its Help and the accompanying manual. I also update the online Help often.

Basic Dates

For the basic publication dates check out the list of publications where you will find something like this:

The current one is

(i.e. first launched in 2008 even though it was in beta for a few months in 2007) but as it gets updated and re-published so often, you may wish to replace <this year> as appropriate.

The Program (wordsmith.exe)

The Help with WordSmith (wordsmith.chm)

The Manual with WordSmith (wordsmith.pdf)

For any of these you might if you wanted add version details such as “version 5.0.0.87” which you would find by accessing Help | About.
