# Credits

This guide is an adaptation of the **CyVerse Learning Center** user guide,
written and maintained by the CyVerse Science Team and Learning Center staff.
The University of New Mexico Center for Advanced Research Computing (CARC)
republishes it, restructured and lightly updated, because
[CyVerse is one of CARC's partner platforms](https://carc.unm.edu/docs/about/partners/){target=_blank}.

## Original work

* **Original site:** [learning.cyverse.org](https://learning.cyverse.org){target=_blank}
  (also published at
  [cyverse-learning-materials.github.io/learning-materials-home](https://cyverse-learning-materials.github.io/learning-materials-home/){target=_blank})
* **Original repository:**
  [CyVerse-learning-materials/learning-materials-home](https://github.com/CyVerse-learning-materials/learning-materials-home){target=_blank}
  — this migration starts from commit
  [`b7392d2`](https://github.com/CyVerse-learning-materials/learning-materials-home/tree/b7392d21be4fd6a67d051847f98c81a18e058a12){target=_blank}.
* **Copyright:** © The Arizona Board of Regents (CyVerse). CyVerse is
  operated primarily at the University of Arizona with partners at the Texas
  Advanced Computing Center, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, and Indiana
  University.
* **Authors:** the CyVerse Science Team and Learning Center contributors. Each
  adapted page names its exact upstream file and commit in its `sources`
  frontmatter, and the upstream git history records individual authors.
* **Platform internals:** the "Under the hood" notes link to the
  [CyVerse Developer Documentation](https://docs.cyverse.org/){target=_blank}.
