MDAnalysis and the included algorithms are scientific software that
are described in academic publications. **Please cite these papers when you use
MDAnalysis in published work.**

It is possible to :ref:`automatically generate a list of references
<citations-using-duecredit>` for any program that uses
MDAnalysis. This list (in common reference manager formats) contains
the citations associated with the specific algorithms and libraries
that were used in the program.


Citations for the whole MDAnalysis library
==========================================

When using MDAnalysis in published work, please cite
[Michaud-Agrawal2011]_ and [Gowers2016]_.

(We are currently asking you to cite *both* papers if at all possible
because the 2016 paper describes many updates to the original 2011
paper and neither paper on its own provides a comprehensive
description of the library. We will publish a complete self-contained
paper with the upcoming 1.0 release of MDAnalysis, which will then
supersede these two citations.)
