Publication Policy

Acknowledgement guidelines and instrument references at SµS

All publications that are produced based on results obtained at SµS should be registered within the PSI publication repository DORA-PSI. Please follow the link 'Add Publication' from the DORA main menu. By using the SµS facilities you agree that SµS staff members acting as experiment supporters are mentioned as co-authors in any publication that results from data obtained at SµS, following the norms of publishing ethics. Experiment supporters include local contacts and other SµS staff providing significant contributions in the development and operation of the used SµS instrument(s). In addition a certain acknowledgement statement is required from the PSI directorate to ensure the finding of the papers in bibliographic databases, see below.

Please note:  It is the responsibility of the corresponding author to ensure that the general publication rules are followed, which includes giving every co-author reasonable time to comment on the paper and ensuring that all authors approve the final manuscript.

All publications based on SµS data should contain the following text part:

'This work is based on experiments performed at the Swiss Muon Source SµS, Paul Scherrer Institute, Villigen, Switzerland.'
