Publication and citation

SotA Lens software, arXiv preprint, and archival status

SotA Lens is released as open-source research software, archived through Zenodo, and accompanied by a published arXiv methodology preprint. The JOSS manuscript remains available for transparency and possible future resubmission after a longer public open-development period.

Current status

Software DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19860899.
Software release: latest GitHub release, archived through Zenodo.
arXiv preprint: arXiv:2605.16333.
