How to cite VMD
Proper citation is essential to continued NIH funding for VMD development, as it is a primary way in which we demonstrate the value of our software to the scientific community. Thank you for your attention to these details.
A Bibtex file with properly formatted entries for VMD, Multiple Alignment Plugin, Interactive Molecular Dynamics (IMD), Tachyon, and other software incorporated into VMD is available here: vmd.bib
The authors request that all published work which utilizes VMD include the primary VMD citation at a minimum (first entry in the BibTex file provided above):
Humphrey, W., Dalke, A. and Schulten, K., "VMD - Visual Molecular Dynamics", J. Molec. Graphics, 1996, vol. 14, pp. 33-38.
Electronic documents should include a direct link to the official VMD page:
