Main FEniCSx citations

If you use FEniCS in your research, the developers would be grateful if you would cite the relevant publications.

If your code starts with import dolfinx, you are using FEniCSx and should cite the papers on this page. FEniCSx is organized as a collection of components, so to give proper credit, please cite the indicated references for each relevant component. You can find this list of papers in BibTeX format here.
