When you publish research that was supported by ASU Core Research Facilities, please recognize that support in your manuscript. For most facilities, the basic sample text below is sufficient. However, more specific information is required for:
- Research Computing
- Eyring Materials Center
- NanoFab
- NIH-funded equipment (Flow Cytometry, Regenerative Medicine and Mass Spectrometry Facilities)
Sample facilities text
If research submitted for publication uses a facility or service, we ask that you recognize the facility in the acknowledgements section of the manuscript as follows:
The authors acknowledge resources and support from the [name of facility] Core Facility at Arizona State University.
In some cases, equipment acquired by a grant must be listed in the “Materials and Methods” section including the specific instrument grant award number. See below for verbiage related to NIH-funded equipment.
Sample personnel text
If an individual has provided support through advanced training, sample preparation or guidance in data acquisition or analysis, please recognize this individual in the acknowledgments section of the manuscript as follows:
We would like to acknowledge [person’s name] from the [name of facility] Core Facility at Arizona State University for [describe assistance/contributions].
If an individual is asked to make a significant intellectual contribution to research submitted for publication, please discuss co-authorship with that individual when engaging them in the research project.
Research Computing
We ask that you recognize the facility in the acknowledgements section of the manuscript as follows:
The authors acknowledge Research Computing at Arizona State University for providing [HPC, storage, etc.] resources that have contributed to the research results reported within this paper.
Sol supercomputer
When acknowledging work done on the Sol supercomputer, please cite our peer-reviewed paper (bibtex, doi:10.1145/3569951.3597573): Jennewein, Douglas M. et al. “The Sol Supercomputer at Arizona State University.” In Practice and Experience in Advanced Research Computing (pp. 296–301). Association for Computing Machinery, 2023.
Eyring Materials Center
We ask that you recognize the facility in the acknowledgements section of the manuscript as follows:
We acknowledge the use of facilities within the Eyring Materials Center at Arizona State University supported in part by NNCI-ECCS-1542160
If an individual provided support through advanced training, sample preparation or guidance in data acquisition or analysis, please recognize this individual in the acknowledgments section of the manuscript as follows:
We would like to acknowledge [person’s name] from the Eyring Materials Center at Arizona State University supported in part by NNCI-ECCS-1542160. [describe assistance/contributions].
NanoFab
We ask that you recognize the facility in the acknowledgements section of the manuscript as follows:
We acknowledge the use of facilities within the ASU NanoFab supported in part by NSF program NNCI-ECCS-2025490.
If an individual provided support through advanced training, sample preparation or guidance in data acquisition or analysis, please recognize this individual in the acknowledgments section of the manuscript as follows:
We would like to acknowledge [person’s name] from the ASU NanoFab at Arizona State University supported in part by NSF program NNCI-ECCS-2025490. [describe assistance/contributions].
NIH-funded equipment
Any publication that utilizes a core facility instrument obtained through an NIH grant must be linked in My NCBI. All researchers who are co-authors on a paper, and who have an NCBI account, are required to link to the equipment grant. This can be easily done by logging into your My NCBI account, go to your My Bibliography, and on the right is a column that provides the option to “Add Award.” The award numbers for NIH funded equipment can be found below for the ALMC instruments, or they are also posted next to the instruments within the lab. Learn more about how to manage your My NCBI profile.
Additionally, please include an acknowledgement of the following equipment in the “Methods and Materials” section of your manuscript:
Leica SP5 confocal system
Image data was collected using a Leica SP5 confocal microscope system, housed in the Regenerative Medicine Imaging Facility at Arizona State University, and was acquired by the NIH SIG award 1 S10 RR027154-01A1.
Leica SP8 confocal system
Image data was collected using a Leica SP8 confocal microscope system, housed in the Regenerative Medicine Imaging Facility at Arizona State University, and was acquired by the NIH SIG award 1 S10 OD023691-01.
Bruker Rapiflex Maldi
Maldi data was collected using a Bruker Rapiflex maldi instrument, housed in the Mass Spectrometry Core Facility at Arizona State University, and supported by ASU Knowledge Enterprise and an NIH SIG award 1S10OD032472.
BD FACSymphony S6
Flow Cytometry data was collected using a BD FACSymphony S6, housed in the Flow Cytometry Core Facility at Arizona State University, and was acquired by the NIH SIG award 1 S10 OD032287-01.
Prairie Multiphoton system
Image data was collected using a Prairie Multiphoton microscope system, housed in the Regenerative Medicine Imaging Facility at Arizona State University, and was acquired by the NIH SIG award 1 S10 RR025646-01.
