Hi All

Are there any publications I can cite regarding the LSST pipeline? Publishing a paper that uses the pipeline to reduce some HSC data (not the HSC pipeline!), would like to give proper attributions.

I believe the most up-to-date instructions are at [Citing and acknowledging the LSST Science Pipelines](https://pipelines.lsst.io/v/weekly/index.html#citing-and-acknowledging-the-lsst-science-pipelines).

Face-palm. How’d I miss that. Thanks

One reason it’s easy to miss is that it’s not yet in the “release” version of [pipelines.lsst.io](http://pipelines.lsst.io), only in the weekly/daily builds. I think that should be fixed when v26 comes out.

There is also a “[How to cite Rubin Observatory](https://www.lsst.org/scientists/citing-lsst)” page linked from [For Scientists | Rubin Observatory](http://www.lsst.org/scientists).

I didn’t know about that citation page at [pipelines.lsst.io](http://pipelines.lsst.io) either, and wouldn’t have known to look under /v/weekly for it. Good that it will soon be on the main landing page.
