Scientists awarded public beam time are expected to
- publish their results
- send to the Joint ESRF/ILL library the complete reference and the abstract of all papers appearing in print, and resulting from the use of the ESRF as well as their author version (postprints) to the joint ESRF/ILL library administrator for publications which are not Open Access.
Scientists purchasing proprietary research beamtime are not obliged to publish results, but if they do so they must respect the obligations below.
For each publication, please ensure that you:
- Properly acknowledge ESRF staff as co-authors if they were one of the scientific drivers of the work done, or played a key role in the experiment, e.g. for data measurement, analysis or interpretation of the data, etc, over and above the involvement that would normally be expected from Local Contact support. This includes running the beamline and collecting data for users in their absence during the COVID pandemic.
- Mention the DOI for the data measured at ESRF (beginning with "10.15151/") that is sent via email at the end of each experiment session to all participants of the session. It is also available from the Data Portal and User Portal for that session.
Watch the PaNOSC video to learn more about the data DOIs:
- Mention the beamline(s) or instrument(s) on which you obtained data
- Mention the proposal number under which you collected data
- Acknowledge assistance from ESRF staff:
This template or adapted version should be used: "We acknowledge the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) for provision of synchrotron radiation facilities under proposal number ### and we would like to thank NAME for assistance and support in using beamline ###."
For experiments carried out on the Structural Biology beamlines that are jointly operated by the ESRF and EMBL Grenoble, please acknowledge assistance from ESRF and EMBL Grenoble staff according to the following template: "We would like to thank the staff of the ESRF and EMBL Grenoble for assistance and support in using beamline(s) XX, YY, ZZ under proposal number ###”.
