Citing PISM¶

There are many use cases for citing software, including referring to the software used in producing the results of a study and discussing modeling approaches (continuum models and their discretizations, parameterizations, algorithms, or approximations) provided by a piece of software [181].

If you used PISM or PISM outputs from an earlier study directly in the research described in your article we recommend citing the specific version of PISM you used. Please see Publishing for more recommendations.

When discussing PISM more broadly, we recommend citing PISM as a project.

In addition to citing a specific PISM version or PISM as a project, please cite one or both of the following references, as appropriate.

Listing 14 Recommended PISM citations¶

            thermodynamically coupled ice sheet model},
 JOURNAL = {J. Geophys. Res.},
  VOLUME = {114},
     DOI = {10.1029/2008JF001179},
    YEAR = {2009},
}

@article {Winkelmannetal2011,
  AUTHOR = {Winkelmann, R. and Martin, M. A. and Haseloff, M. and Albrecht, T.
            and Bueler, E. and Khroulev, C. and Levermann, A.},
   TITLE = {The {P}otsdam {P}arallel {I}ce {S}heet {M}odel ({PISM-PIK})
            {P}art 1: {M}odel description},
 JOURNAL = {The Cryosphere},
  VOLUME = {5},
    YEAR = {2011},
   PAGES = {715--726},
     DOI = {10.5194/tc-5-715-2011},
}

If your study relies heavily on certain PISM sub-models (such as hydrology, calving, fracture mechanics, thermodynamics) please contact us for information on additional citations.

Citing a specific PISM version¶

Please see Table 43 to find the DOI corresponding to a PISM version and download a BibTeX record.

Please use a DOI instead of an URL pointing to https://www.pism.io or https://github.com/pism/pism whenever possible.

Citing the PISM project¶

You can cite all PISM versions by using the DOI 10.5281/zenodo.1199019. This DOI represents all versions and will always resolve to the latest one. Please see Table 43 to download the corresponding BibTeX record.
