Creative Commons Attribution and citation

Hi, I want to use in wikipedia an image token from the material graphic generator. How can I proceed? which citations shall I mention and which creative commons attribution shall I use?

Apart from the “main” citation at the top of https://materialsproject.org/citing, you should if convenient use the additional citations included for the particular material via the “BibTeX citation” buttons at the bottom of any detail page.

Hi. I have a similar question. I am using a snippet of WSe2 band structure from Materials Project site in a paper that I am about to submit to a peer reviewed journal. (I have done some calculations based on the graph, for which I have added numbers on the aforementioned snippet). My question is again, how should I cite/attribute it. I understand that I need to use the ‘main’ citation mentioned in the previous answer, and also the ones suggested at the bottom of the material page. What I am not sure about it, should I also cite JSmol? From what I saw by a cursory glance on their web page, It seems it generates the unit cell graphs, but I am not sure about the band structure. So, for band structure, should I cite JSmol, or some other software? Thank you.

We use our pymatgen library’s electronic_structure.plotter module to generate the Band Structure and Density of States plots displayed on the site. There is an entry on https://materialsproject.org/citing for citing the Pymatgen library: please use that citation for the plot. Thanks.
