 # General information
 
-This repository contains the simulation code and postprocessing presented in the publication "The Uncertainty Inherent to DEM Simulations: Insights from an Interlocking Parcel Model" by Maier, Mitterlindner, Benabchiasli, Fasching, and Radl (2024) in Scientific Reports
+This repository contains the simulation code and postprocessing presented in the publication "The Uncertainty Inherent to DEM Simulations: Insights from an Interlocking Parcel Model" by Maier, Mitterlindner, Benabchiasli, Fasching, and Radl (2024) in Scientific Reports (DOI: https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-5330414/v1)
 
 - The folder "runfiles" contains the respective codebase to setup the DEM simulations using the settings and conditions described within the paper.
 - The folder "postprocessing" uses the simulation data (i.e., "*.liggghts"-files) to extract the relevant data and analyse it statistically.
