Recognizing the core
It is essential that the staff and use of the BioFrontiers Advanced Light Microscopy Core is recognized in your publications, presentations, and posters. Proper recognition allows us to demonstrate our impact on the local scientific community and helps us procure funding to acquire new imaging technologies and provide cutting edge services.
Consider co-authorship
Our personnel are scientists and deserve to be appropriately credited as co-authors in any publication, presentation, and poster, that utilize our work.
To help you determine the appropriate level of credit, here are some examples of contributions that should count towards co-authorship, as suggested by the Royal Microscopical Society:
Acknowledgement statements
All work resulting from your use of the facility and our staff must include an acknowledgement statement. Sample acknowledgement statements, including funding information can be found in the expandable boxes below.

Publish good papers
Consider this advice from the Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities when writing a research article:
Write thorough microscopy methods
Microscopy methods are largely under-reported in journal articles, according to the Marqués et al.
Follow the microscopy and image analysis checklists published by Bio-Imaging North America to write thorough Methods sections.
