The survey strategy itself is described in PSTNs technical documents, all with citable with an associated DOI: the most recent survey strategy PSTNs are PSTN-056 which describes the survey strategy in detail (DOI 10.71929/rubin/2585402) and PSTN-057 (DOI 10.71929/rubin/3395070) which describes updates to PSTN-056 specifically relevant to the first years of LSST.
