How to cite the SMSCG Project

Scientific publications, which have been (partially) carried out on the SMSCG Grid infrastructure should acknowlege us.

This work was supported by the AAA/SWITCH funded Swiss Multi Science Computing Grid project (http://www.smscg.ch) with computational infrastructure and support.
