How to acknowledge CHIANTI

The continued development of the CHIANTI database is dependent on continued funding which is generally available if we can demonstrate that the CHIANTI database is of use to astrophysical research.
If you use CHIANTI, we only ask that you acknowledge it appropriately in any publications:

1 - Quote the first of the CHIANTI papers (Dere et al. 1997), which describes the methods used in CHIANTI, and the one associated with the particular VERSION of CHIANTI you have used:

• Version 1.0 - Dere et al., 1997; A&AS, 125, 149
• Version 2.0 - Landi et al. 1999; A&AS, 135, 339
• Version 3.0 - Dere et al., 2001; ApJS, 134, 331
• Version 4.0 - Young et al., 2003; ApJS, 144, 135
• Version 5.0 - Landi et al., 2006; ApJS, 162, 261
• Version 6.0 - Dere et al., 2009; A&A 498, 915

2 - If a detail work on a particular ion or dataset is done, researchers should also reference the paper containing the original atomic calculations. This is very important.
References can be found at the end of each data file, accessible via our WWW pages.

2 - We would also appreciate if you also write in the acknowledgements of any publication the following short sentence:

CHIANTI is a collaborative project involving researchers at NRL (USA) RAL (UK), and the Universities of: Cambridge (UK), George Mason (USA), and Florence (Italy).

CHIANTI data are included into other databases. It would be appropriate to make that clear to the users so they can trace back the results they use to the original calculations.
