Dear all,
the question was raised a few days ago on how to cite work done using Quantum-ESPRESSO. Indeed, it would be very useful if we had a consistent standard, and it's indeed very helpful you actively cite the code in papers published (the only way to have citations count is to have a paper describing the code - we are working on this). For the time being, I'd invite everyone to use the standard described below, that we all agreed upon - you'll note that it highlights the work that Paolo Giannozzi has put in all these years in coordinating and overseeing the efforts in PWscf, CP, and everything else (without forgetting everyone else - the paper describing the code will take care of this). So, for the time being, let's all cite the code as either [SHORT] P. Giannozzi et al., http://www.quantum-espresso.org. [LONG] {\sc Quantum-ESPRESSO} is a community project for high-quality quantum-simulation software, based on density-functional theory, and coordinated by Paolo Giannozzi. See http://www.quantum-espresso.org and http://www.pwscf.org. Note the form {\sc Quantum-ESPRESSO} for textual citations of the code. Pseudopotentials should be cited as [PSEUDO] We used the pseudopotentials C.pbe.rrjkus.UPF and O.pbe.vbc.UPF from the http://www.quantum-espresso.org distribution. Last, you are all welcome to contribute to the wiki page, and in particular update the section on papers published using Quantum-ESPRESSO: http://www.quantum-espresso.org/wiki/index.php/Bibliography --------------------------------------------------------------------- Prof Nicola Marzari Department of Materials Science and Engineering 13-5066 MIT 77 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge MA 02139-4307 USA tel 617.4522758 fax 2586534 marzari at mit.edu http://quasiamore.mit.edu
