Jon and all,
This is a life sciences paper to be submitted to Development Genes and Evolution ( at http://www.springerlink.com/app/home/ journal.asp?wasp=07wck7cewp2kum58aw7m&referrer=parent&backto=linkingpubl icationresults,1:100526,1 )
The format of the citation is of the type I pasted for ImageJ, which I used in a previously published paper.
Rasband, W. (1997-2005). ImageJ. http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/.The most sensible way seems to be what Felix proposed:
Harrington, B. et al (2004-2005). Inkscape. http://www.inkscape.org/.unless someone has a better solution.
Yes, after looking at a few resources such as APS style, http://publish.aps.org/STYLE/index.html and others, et al is the preferred way.
Good luck on the paper! Post it here when you get done with it. It would be interesting...

Also, if anyone would be interested in writing a technical paper about Inkscape itself, or a paper on art, artistic techniques, computer graphics, etc. now is the time.
Feb-Mar is "technical journal season" when a lot of different events and publications have their "Call for Papers". Please consider putting in a proposal for writing a paper, and find a potential publisher.
Getting a paper published about OCAL, SVG, Inkscape, or any other SVG-compatible editing/viewing tool could do a great job towards helping our community. Plus, if you are a programmer or artist, it will be a solid achievement for your career.
If you're uncertain about writing a paper alone, don't let that stop you. Perhaps someone else in our community will be open to co-authoring with you.
Conferences like OSCON, LWE, and others are looking for papers at this time. Have a look and think if you'd be interested in writing a paper; if so, send in a proposal. You may not get accepted, but if you do, it could help Inkscape, SVG, and yourself out quite a bit. :-)
