使用了Multiwfn的文章里不引用或错误地引用Multiwfn程序的现象极为严重(尤其是在中国用户的文章中)!特此强调:
在研究中无论使用Multiwfn的哪个功能,在发表的文章的正文中都应当对Multiwfn进行正确引用,这是基本的学术道德规范。最全面、合理的引用Multiwfn程序及其作者的相关工作的说明见Multiwfn程序包中的How to cite Multiwfn.pdf文档。如果你发表的使用了Multiwfn的文章中连此文档中提到的Tian Lu, Feiwu Chen, J. Comput. Chem., 33, 580-592 (2012)这篇必须引的Multiwfn原文都没引用的话,将会被列入Multiwfn黑名单,并禁止在未来使用Multiwfn。
请在文章正文里提及和引用Multiwfn,而不要只放到补充材料里,否则不仅读者难以注意到,而且也不会被纳入引用的统计。
Multiwfn允许用于给别人代算时使用,但必须主动告诉对方在文章中需要明确引用Multiwfn程序。
开发Multiwfn花费了巨大精力和心血,恰当引用Multiwfn原文及作者的相关文章是对Multiwfn这个完全免费、不懈开发的程序的开发最好的支持!
另:
如果有Multiwfn使用上的问题,欢迎到 https://bbs.keinsci.com 的“波函数分析与Multiwfn”版块发帖咨询,开发者会非常及时回复(通常在24小时内回复)。也欢迎在Multiwfn英文论坛 https://sobereva.com/wfnbbs 上用英语发帖求助、和外国Multiwfn用户交流。开发者不在其它任何其它中文论坛里解答Multiwfn的使用问题。
初次接触Multiwfn者请务必阅读《Multiwfn入门tips》( https://sobereva.com/167 )。《Multiwfn FAQ》( https://sobereva.com/452 )也非常重要,强烈建议完整过目一遍。
