You don't have to pay for them, but on the other\nside you're not free to modify them as you need, nor to access and study the\nsource code.\n\nThis is the main motivation behind IOSACal: creating a free-as-in-freedom\nradiocarbon calibration software, with a clean programming library,\nthat enables experiments and integration in existing archaeological\ninformation systems.\n\nFurthermore, writing this software from scratch is an alternative way of\nlearning how 14C calibration works, not only in strict mathematical terms,\nbut also from a practical point of view.\n\nFeatures\n--------\n\nIOSACal takes a radiocarbon determination and outputs a calibrated age as a set\nof probability intervals. A radiocarbon date is represented by a date in years\nBP (before present, that is before 1950 AD) and a standard deviation, like\n2430\u00b1170. The combination of these two values is a numerical representation of\na laboratory measure performed on the original organic material.\n\nThe main task of the calibration process is to convert this measure into a set\nof calendar dates by means of a calibration curve. Users can choose whether\nthey want results as a plot, a short textual summary or both (the plot includes\nthe summary).\n\nIOSACal reads calibration curves in the common ``.14c`` format used also by\nother programs. Should you have calibration data in another format, it would be\neasy to either convert them to that format or modify the source code of IOSACal\nto adapt it to your needs.\n\nIOSACal is based on current calibration methods, like those described in\n[RAM2008]_.\n\n.. [RAM2008] C. Bronk Ramsey, Radiocarbon dating: revolutions in\n understanding, Archaeometry 50,2 (2008) pp. 249\u2013275\n http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1475-4754.2008.00394.x\n\nCan I use IOSACal for my research?\n----------------------------------\n\nYes, IOSACal has been used in research projects with large numbers of radiocarbon\ndates. Using IOSACal with Jupyter Notebooks is ideal for reproducible research\nthat can be easily shared. Furthermore, it takes little effort to customize and\nadapt the existing code to your specific needs. IOSACal is reasonably fast,\nespecially for batch processing.\n\nThe `web application`_ is ideal for quick checks on single radiocarbon dates,\nand requires no registration.\n\n.. _`web application`: http://iosacal.herokuapp.com/\n\nIf you make use of IOSACal in your work, please cite it with the appropriate\nreference [IOSACAL_Zenodo]_. This helps us get some recognition for creating\nand maintaining this software free for everyone.\n\n..
