PUBLICATIONS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Your use of the Facility is heavily subsidised by the University and by grants from external funding agencies. In order to comply with current funding obligations and to apply for new funding, the Facility must report on the number and type of publications produced by Users of the Facility. It is essential that you, the User, acknowledge the Facility in every publication that uses the Facility's microscopes, computers and expertise, and where appropriate, include Facility staff as authors.

It is a condition of use of the Facility that:

1. You acknowledge the Facility and any assistance provided by Facility staff in the publication or report;
2. Facility staff members who have acquired and/or interpreted data on your behalf should be invited to be co-authors on the publication, as is usual practice.

Please acknowledge the contributions of the Facility in your publications simply by including:

Where Facility staff provided assistance (but not enough to justify co-authorship):

“The authors acknowledge use of the facilities and the assistance of NAME OF MMI STAFF MEMBER(S) at the Monash Micro Imaging.”

OR

Where you carried out all the work, or one or more MMI staff members are co-authors:

“The authors acknowledge use of facilities within the Monash Micro Imaging.”

In addition, specific instruments funded by the ARC (as listed in Table 3) must be acknowledged as follows:

“This research used equipment funded by Australian Research Council grant(s) (select from table below)."

OR

"This research was supported under the Australian Research Council's Facility of Excellence funding scheme (COE for Design in Light Metals)."
