Citing sisl
sisl is an open-source software package intended for the scientific community. It is released under the MPL-2 license.
You are encouraged to cite sisl when you use it to produce scientific contributions.
The sisl citation can be found through Zenodo:
By citing sisl you are encouraging development and exposing 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 = {2023},
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/or dynamical matrices for
TBtrans and/or PHtrans
you should cite these two DOI’s:
@misc{zerothi_sisl,
author = {Papior, Nick},
title = {sisl: v<fill-version>},
year = {2023},
doi = {10.5281/zenodo.597181},
url = {https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.597181}
