Reference Map ​

This page is not the authoritative citation list for every topic. Topic-specific references live at the bottom of the relevant theory, guide, and simulator pages. Use this page as a cross-document reading map for the foundational papers, solver methods, optical data sources, and software tools that appear repeatedly across COMPASS.

How to use this page

Start with the cards for foundational method papers. For implementation-specific or simulator-specific claims, follow the references on the page where the claim appears.

The separate map is useful only for cross-cutting sources. It should stay compact instead of duplicating every local citation. Each card now also links back to the COMPASS pages where that source is used.
