// In order for Geant4-DNA to be maintained and still open-source,
// article citations are crucial. 
// If you use Geant4-DNA chemistry and you publish papers about your software, 
// in addition to the general paper on Geant4-DNA:
//
// Int. J. Model. Simul. Sci. Comput. 1 (2010) 157–178
//
// we would be very happy if you could please also cite the following
// reference papers on chemistry:
