# Contributing

Contributions are welcome.

Contributions can be done via GitLab merge request or via patches (`git send-email` or `git format-patch`) sent to slepc-maint@upv.es. The preferred way of accepting contributions is via merge requests, as described at PETSc Developer’s Documentation. If you are planning a large contribution, we encourage you to discuss the concept with us and interact frequently to ensure that your effort is well-directed. The name of the contributors will be acknowledged in SLEPc’s documentation and website.
