Citing sisl

sisl is an open-source software package intended for the scientific community. It is released under the LGPL-3 license.

You are encouraged to cite sisl you use it to produce scientific contributions.

The sisl citation can be found through Zenodo:

By citing sisl you are encouraging development and expoosing the software package.

Citing basic usage

If you are only using sisl as a post-processing tool and/or tight-binding calculations you should cite this (Zenodo DOI):

@misc{zerothi_sisl,
  author       = {Papior, Nick},
  title        = {sisl: v<fill-version>},
  year         = {2020},
  doi          = {10.5281/zenodo.597181},
  url          = {https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.597181}
}

The sgeom, sgrid or sdata commands all print-out the above information in a suitable format:

sgeom --cite
sgrid --cite
sdata --cite

which fill in the version for you, all yield the same output.

Citing transport backend

When using sisl as tight-binding setup for Hamiltonians and dynamical matrices for TBtrans and PHtrans you should cite these two DOI’s:

@misc{zerothi_sisl,
  author       = {Papior, Nick},
  title        = {sisl: v<fill-version>},
  year         = {2020},
  doi          = {10.5281/zenodo.597181},
  url          = {https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.597181}
}

@article{Papior2017,
  author = {Papior, Nick and Lorente, Nicol{\'{a}}s and Frederiksen, Thomas and Garc{\'{i}}a, Alberto and Brandbyge, Mads},
  doi = {10.1016/j.cpc.2016.09.022},
  issn = {00104655},
  journal = {Computer Physics Communications},
  month = {mar},
  number = {July},
