John, Snezhana and others,<br><br>In 2007/2008 time frame we had compiled a database of publications that used <br>FLASH in their results by searching through the literature. The list on the website <br>is generated by merging the recent input from the users with this database.<br>
<br>The database also included papers that did not use the code if any of the authors was affiliated<br>with the center at the time. We differentiated between papers that used FLASH <br>from those that did not through an optional field in their bibtex entries. People doing the compilation<br>
exercised their judgement in determining if a paper had used FLASH for obtaining any part of the <br>reported results by looking for citations and acknowledgements, and by reading the abstracts. It appears <br>that some of the papers got tagged wrongly. We apologize for the errors, the reported errors <br>
have been fixed in the database and will be reflected on the website by early next week. <br><br>The feedback from the users is critical in making this list as accurate, informative and complete <br>as possible. We deeply appreciate the interest that the community has shown in the project, <br>
and sincerely hope that it will become a useful resource for all our users and other researchers<br>in the related fields. <br><br>Anshu on behalf of the FLASH team.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Apr 7, 2012 at 2:07 PM, John ZuHone <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jzuhone@milkyway.gsfc.nasa.gov">jzuhone@milkyway.gsfc.nasa.gov</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
It is my understanding that the purpose of this list is to provide a library of papers that used the FLASH code to obtain their scientific results.<br>
<br>
For that reason, I submit that only those papers that actually used FLASH should be part of the list. I think the point is to provide users of the code with an extensive reference to help them when looking for information about how others have used the code, so they can better understand the code's capabilities "in the wild" and learn from others how to approach different issues. Papers that involve people or projects related to FLASH but not using the code itself don't seem to suit this purpose.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>
