Acknowledgements
Why are Acknowledgements Important?
Acknowledgements are vital to ensuring the continued success of the Shared Instruments Pool. They serve as an essential metric for demonstrating the significant impact of the Shared Instruments Pool on numerous research projects at 欧美口爆视频 Boulder and in the surrounding areas. These acknowledgements play a crucial role in securing funding from external organisations such as the NIH or NSF, as well as through internal funding opportunities at 欧美口爆视频, like the Core Facility Assistance Grant Program offered by RIO.
Acknowledgements also serve to recognise the organisations that have made the Shared Instruments Pool possible, including the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Department of Biochemistry at the University of 欧美口爆视频 at Boulder. Please acknowledge specific grants for instruments you might have used. You can find example text including grant numbers for instruments below.
Moreover, acknowledgements underscore the intellectual and experimental contributions made by the staff of the Shared Instruments Pool to a research project. If facility staff have provided substantial assistance, please consider acknowledging them by name. If they contributed significantly to the intellectual aspects or conducted important experiments, co-authorship may also be appropriate.
The Association for Biomolecular Resource Facilities (专RF) has issued 鈥淩ecommended Guidelines for Authorship on Manuscripts,鈥 which form the basis for the guidelines outlined below. If you are interested in learning more, you can find the guidelines and additional resources from the 专RF here: .
Examples for Acknowledgments
Please include BioX's RRID number (RRID:SCR_019310) in your acknowledgements. This allows funding organisations and potential grant reviewers to easily locate publications supported by BioX, helping to evaluate the impact of BioX on our research community.
