Citing LAMMPS

Core Algorithms
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Since LAMMPS is a community project, there is not a single one
|
|
publication or reference that describes **all** of LAMMPS.
|
|
The canonical publication that describes the foundation, that is
|
|
the basic spatial decomposition approach, the neighbor finding,
|
|
and basic communications algorithms used in LAMMPS is:
|
|
|
|
`S. Plimpton, Fast Parallel Algorithms for Short-Range Molecular Dynamics, J Comp Phys, 117, 1-19 (1995). <http://www.sandia.gov/~sjplimp/papers/jcompphys95.pdf>`_
|
|
|
|
So any project using LAMMPS (or a derivative application using LAMMPS as
|
|
a simulation engine) should cite this paper. A new publication
|
|
describing the developments and improvements of LAMMPS in the 25 years
|
|
since then is currently in preparation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
DOI for the LAMMPS code
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
LAMMPS developers use the `Zenodo service at CERN
|
|
<https://zenodo.org/>`_ to create digital object identifies (DOI) for
|
|
stable releases of the LAMMPS code. There are two types of DOIs for the
|
|
LAMMPS source code: the canonical DOI for **all** versions of LAMMPS,
|
|
which will always point to the **latest** stable release version is:
|
|
|
|
- DOI: `10.5281/zenodo.3726416 <https://dx.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3726416>`_
|
|
|
|
In addition there are DOIs for individual stable releases. Currently there are:
|
|
|
|
- 3 March 2020 version: `DOI:10.5281/zenodo.3726417 <https://dx.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3726417>`_
|
|
- 29 October 2020 version: `DOI:10.5281/zenodo.4157471 <https://dx.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4157471>`_

Home page
|
|
^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
The LAMMPS website at `https://lammps.sandia.gov/ <https://lammps.sandia.gov>`_ is the canonical
|
|
location for information about LAMMPS and more detailed lists of publications
|
|
using LAMMPS and contributing features.
|
|
|
|
Citing contributions
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
LAMMPS has many features and uses previously published methods and
|
|
algorithms or novel features. It also includes potential parameter
|
|
filed for specific models. You can look up relevant publications either
|
|
in the LAMMPS output to the screen, the ``log.cite`` file (which is
|
|
populated with references to relevant papers through embedding them into
|
|
the source code) and in the documentation of the :doc:`corresponding commands
|
|
<Commands_all>` or in the :doc:`Howto tutorials <Howto>`.
