I am not aware of any specific reference for the atomic code. It may
be cited as a componenty of QE. The UPF format also has no specific
reference. The documentation for v.1 should be available somewhere
in old versions of the QE package. Currently only v.2 is documented
in the quantum-espresso.org web site
