Scott. If you use the code distributed by Rietveld, you should certainly acknowledge it as "the Rietveld program/code" as I did in my Harwell report 1973_The_Rietveld_Program_for_the_Profile_Refinement_of_ Neutron_Diffraction_Powder_Patterns_AERE_R7350-von_Dreele_annotations.pdf <http://hewat.net/science/papers/1973_The_Rietveld_Program_for_the_Profile_Refinement_of_%20Neutron_Diffraction_Powder_Patterns_AERE_R7350-von_Dreele_annotations.pdf>
In that case you should also list the actual code you use, as I did. Alan.
