Please, have a look at the ABINIT bibliography file,
for example
http://www.abinit.org/ABINIT/Infos_v4.3/bibliography.html

    * The Monkhorst and Pack grids
      H.J. Monkhorst and J.D. Pack, Phys. Rev. B 13, 5188 (1976)
    * Discussion of k points for the FHI98MD code :
      http://www.fhi-berlin.mpg.de/th/fhi98md/doc/main/node15.html

Although the way k points are specified in ABINIT is different
from the one of FHI98MD code, the latter link might help you
to understand ...
