abstract: updateCitation is a Python tool that automates the maintenance of 
  citation metadata in software projects. It seamlessly integrates with Python 
  package ecosystems by extracting metadata from pyproject.toml files, 
  synchronizing with GitHub releases, and incorporating PyPI package information
  to generate and update CITATION.cff files. This tool helps researchers and 
  developers ensure their software is properly citeable while maintaining 
  consistent metadata across different platforms.
