TITLE: How to cite a sequence from The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS)?
QUESTION [16 upvotes]: In my paper I want to provide a reference for a sequence (in this case - A001970) from The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS).
However, I couldn't find an official bib entry for it (there is an unofficial OEIS2BibTeX). Even the respective FAQ/Wiki entry is a bit vague on the issue, providing only a suggestion:

A text reference might say:
The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, published electronically at http://oeis.org, 2010, Sequence A000108
or, if it is clear who "discovered" the sequence, something like
J. H. Conway, Sequence A007970 in The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (2010), published electronically at http://oeis.org.

Moreover, in most of papers I saw people add N. [J. A.] Sloane but drop the year, e.g.:

N. J. A. Sloane, The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, Sequence A000009.

So, is there a "good practice" for citing OEIS sequences?

REPLY [3 votes]: For those who, like me, just want to copy and paste BibTeX for OEIS which approximates the general suggested reference style, here you go:
@misc{oeis,
    Author = {{OEIS Foundation Inc.}},
    Note = {Published electronically at \url{http://oeis.org}},
    Title = {The {O}n-{L}ine {E}ncyclopedia of {I}nteger {S}equences},
    Year = YYYY}

Of course, fill in YYYY with the current year.
Usage:
\cite[A008277]{oeis}
