LAMMPS Publications

Here are Google Scholar links to lists of papers which cite LAMMPS, via either our recent 2022 Comp Phys Comm paper, or the original 1995 J Comp Phys paper. Both papers are briefly discussed here.

• 2022 paper
• 1995 paper
• either paper

Most of the papers discuss simulation results generated with LAMMPS, but some describe other codes or algorithms and may only cite LAMMPS in passing.

At the 2 links for individual LAMMPS papers, you can search the contents of the citing papers by checking the box at the top of the page for "Search within citing articles". The "Advanced search" option in the hamburger menu to the left allows you to search for multiple words, exact phrases, only the title, by author or journal, or within date ranges. Here are examples for searching citations to the 1995 LAMMPS paper:

• Klein -- 4850 results
• "ML Klein" -- 1110 results, probably includes references
• author:"ML Klein" -- 58 results
• author:"ML Klein" from 2016-2026 -- 26 results
• author:"ML Klein" source:Nature -- 1 result

• "machine learning" -- 7710 results
• allintitle:"machine learning" -- 976 results
• allintitle:"machine learning" from 1995-2015 -- 3 results
• allintitle:"machine learning" in 2025 -- 196 results
