Prostate Centre Microarray Facility Acknowledgment Policy
Our facility does not request co-authorship on studies using
data generated on a fee-for-service basis. However, co-authorship
may be appropriate if a significant intellectual contribution
has been made by our scientists.
On the other hand, in order to monitor our scientific impact
on the research community and to comply with the reporting requirements
of our funding partners, we require that our customers acknowledge
services performed by our facility in peer-reviewed publications
and presentations at conferences and seminars.
For peer-reviewed publications, we are asking our customers
to acknowledge our facility by including one or both of the
following:
- Acknowledgement section. When the facility personnel have
been helpful with, for instance, experimental design or data
analysis, the following sentence should be incorporated. “The
authors wish to thank [name of facility personnel] of the Prostate
Centre Microarray Facility, Vancouver, Canada ,for their help
with [help provided]”
- Materials and Methods. When the facility has provided a service,
the following sentence should be incorporated. “[Service]
was performed by the Prostate Centre Microarray Facility, Vancouver,
Canada”
For conferences and seminars, we are asking our customers to
include “Prostate Centre Microarray Facility” in the
acknowledgement section.
We will be grateful to receive notification when customers publish
papers acknowledging the Prostate Centre Microarray Facility.
