 This repository contains the underlying C++ program that powers [go-cart.io](https://go-cart.io). If you'd only like to create a cartogram, you may find it easier to visit the website directly. Otherwise, if you'd like to make code contributions, feature suggestions and/or play with the inner workings of our cartogram generator, you're at the right place!
 
-This program uses the fast flow-based method developed by Michael T. Gastner, Vivien Seguy, and Pratyush More. For more information, you may refer to the following [paper](https://www.pnas.org/content/115/10/E2156):
+This program implements 5FCarto, a topology-preserving contiguous cartogram generator that combines the topology-preserving line densification method developed by Nihal Z. Miaji, Adi Singhania, Matthias E. Goh, Callista Le, Atima Tharatipyakul, and Michael T. Gastner with the fast flow-based method developed by Michael T. Gastner, Vivien Seguy, and Pratyush More.
