MATLAB: Which paper should be cited for the genetic algorithm used in Matlab 2019a

genetic algorithmMATLAB

Hello. I am using the ga function in Matlab 2019a.
I set the option "PopulationType" to be "bitstring", but I don't know what is the specific algorithm used in this case. Which paper should be cited for reference? Is it "Goldberg, David E., Genetic Algorithms in Search, Optimization & Machine Learning, Addison-Wesley, 1989."?
Thank you very much.

One source of references is the documentation for the function (which I'm guessing is where you found the reference you have).
Another is to "type ga.m" or "edit ga.m" (be careful not to make changes to the file), and look for references for particular methods.
