 Overview
-The project _Continuation Core and Toolboxes_ (`COCO`) is a Matlab-based development platform that provides a large amount of standard functionality required for investigating bifurcation problems and implementing toolboxes for new types of problems. The textbook [**Recipes for Continuation**]([wiki:recipes]) describes the underlying mathematics, algorithm development, command-line interface, and toolbox construction in great detail.
+The project _Continuation Core and Toolboxes_ (`COCO`) is a Matlab-based development platform that provides a large amount of standard functionality required for investigating bifurcation and constrained optimization problems and implementing toolboxes for new types of problems. The textbook [**Recipes for Continuation**]([wiki:recipes]) and the journal article [**Methods of continuation and their implementation in the COCO software platform with application to delay differential equations**](https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11071-021-06841-1) describes the underlying mathematics, algorithm development, command-line interface, and toolbox construction in great detail.

Note that, in addition, the textbook [**Recipes for Continuation**]([wiki:recipes]) and the [**associated code**]([wiki:recipes]) provides in-depth analysis of the toolbox development process in the context of several partially developed toolboxes. 

 Documentation
-In the most recent release, documentation and tutorials are available for the following toolboxes and examples:
+Code documentation may in many cases be displayed by typing help followed by the function name on the command line. Additional documentation is also available in [**Recipes for Continuation**]([wiki:recipes]).
