What are the academic references for ATLAS?
The academic references for ATLAS are given in bibtex format below. If you want to reference one paper only, probably the newest (first shown) is the best, as it references the others. The first two papers contain the bulk of the needed information. Referencing the homepage can help other researchers find the software. Note that there have been quite a few subsequent papers that discuss ATLAS (with varying degrees of accuracy and detail) written by people not directly involved in ATLAS’s production and design. While these papers may be about ATLAS, they are not, obviously, primary sources, and should not be cited as such. If the paper is not authored by Whaley or Petitet, it is not a primary-source ATLAS paper.
