Facility Acknowledgement
Acknowledgement of using the facility in publications serves as an identifiable metric to evaluate the scientific support provided.
Therefore, we encourage our users to ensure that a relevant acknowledgement is included in the appropriate section of their manuscript, as suggested below:
'The authors acknowledge the University College London Centre for Cell and Molecular Dynamics Core Facility UCL CCMD for their support and assistance in this work 'RRID:SCR_026564)'
Individual Acknowledgement
A personal contribution of an individual may also be acknowledged, where a staff member has exceeded standard assistance.
Authorship
In cases where a staff member has made a substantial intellectual contribution to a study or project, such as:
-
Assisted with experimental design
-
Suggested a successful alteration in the protocol
-
Acquisition of data, analysis and interpretation, beyond routine practices
-
Drafted the corresponding section of article
Co-authorship is an option and may be appropriate.
The Royal Microscopical Society recognises that facility staff are highly skilled scientists who contribute technically and intellectually to research projects. It is therefore important to acknowledge them properly in publications and presentations.
