Citing SUNDIALS
June 25, 2026 ยท View on GitHub
As an open-source software library, the most measurable metric we have regarding the impact of our work is citations in academic journals. Thus, if you find our software useful for your own work, we ask that you cite one or more of the following papers in your publications that use SUNDIALS:
@article{roberts2026sundials,
title = {New {Time} {Integrators} and {Capabilities} in {SUNDIALS} {Versions} 6.2.0-7.4.0},
author = {Roberts, Steven B and Aggul, Mustafa and Reynolds, Daniel R and Balos, Cody J and Gardner, David J and Woodward, Carol S},
journal = {ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software (TOMS)},
publisher = {ACM},
volume = {52},
number = {1},
pages = {8:1--8:14},
year = {2026},
doi = {10.1145/3797888}
}
@article{reynolds2023arkode,
title = {{ARKODE: A flexible IVP solver infrastructure for one-step methods}},
author = {Reynolds, Daniel R and Gardner, David J and Woodward, Carol S and Chinomona, Rujeko},
journal = {ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software (TOMS)},
publisher = {ACM},
volume = {49},
number = {2},
pages = {1--26},
year = {2023},
doi = {10.1145/3594632}
}
@article{gardner2022sundials,
title = {Enabling new flexibility in the {SUNDIALS} suite of nonlinear and differential/algebraic equation solvers},
author = {Gardner, David J and Reynolds, Daniel R and Woodward, Carol S and Balos, Cody J},
journal = {ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software (TOMS)},
publisher = {ACM},
volume = {48},
number = {3},
pages = {1--24},
year = {2022},
doi = {10.1145/3539801}
}
@article{hindmarsh2005sundials,
title = {{SUNDIALS}: Suite of nonlinear and differential/algebraic equation solvers},
author = {Hindmarsh, Alan C and Brown, Peter N and Grant, Keith E and Lee, Steven L and Serban, Radu and Shumaker, Dan E and Woodward, Carol S},
journal = {ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software (TOMS)},
publisher = {ACM},
volume = {31},
number = {3},
pages = {363--396},
year = {2005},
doi = {10.1145/1089014.1089020}
}
Furthermore, since SUNDIALS is continually evolving, we also ask that you cite the documentation for the SUNDIALS package and version that you use in your work, as a service to your own readers. The relevant SUNDIALS documentation guides are:
@Misc{arkodeDocumentation,
author = {Daniel R. Reynolds and David J. Gardner and Carol S. Woodward and Cody J. Balos},
title = {User Documentation for ARKODE},
year = {2026},
note = {v6.8.0}
}
@Misc{cvodeDocumentation,
author = {Alan C. Hindmarsh and Radu Serban and Cody J. Balos and David J. Gardner and Daniel R. Reynolds and Carol S. Woodward},
title = {User Documentation for CVODE},
year = {2026},
note = {v7.8.0}
}
@Misc{cvodesDocumentation,
author = {Alan C. Hindmarsh and Radu Serban and Cody J. Balos and David J. Gardner and Daniel R. Reynolds and Carol S. Woodward},
title = {User Documentation for CVODES},
year = {2026},
note = {v7.8.0}
}
@Misc{idaDocumentation,
author = {Alan C. Hindmarsh and Radu Serban and Cody J. Balos and David J. Gardner and Daniel R. Reynolds and Carol S. Woodward},
title = {User Documentation for IDA},
year = {2026},
note = {v7.8.0}
}
@Misc{idasDocumentation,

note = {v6.8.0}
}
@Misc{kinsolDocumentation,
author = {Alan C. Hindmarsh and Radu Serban and Cody J. Balos and David J. Gardner and Daniel R. Reynolds and Carol S. Woodward},
