User guidelines and notice

The user guidelines and notice for MESSAGEix <message_ix:notice> also apply to ixmp in their entirety. We ask that you read the notice and take the actions whenever you:

• use the , or any model(s) you have built using this tool
• to produce any scientific publication, technical report, website, or other publicly-available material.

The guidelines include the optional step to cite the code via Zenodo (in addition to the required step to cite the peer-reviewed publication). You must decide which records to cite:

• If you are using both message_ix and ixmp, then cite the MESSAGEix records.
• If you are using only ixmp without message_ix, then cite the ixmp records. ixmp has its own Zenodo records that are distinct from message_ix:
  • The DOI 10.5281/zenodo.4005665 represents all versions of the ixmp code, and will always resolve to the latest version.
  • At that page, you can also choose a different DOI in order to cite one specific version; for instance, 10.5281/zenodo.4005666 to cite v3.1.0.
