Publications

Acknowledge and Inform us of Your Research Results and Publications

By contacting us when exciting results are about to be published, we can work with users and the SLAC Office of Communication to develop the story and to communicate user research findings to a much broader audience. As the first facility of its kind, it is extremely important that LCLS users share the results of their experiments through scientific presentations and papers.

Users are required to inform the User Research Administration of each publication or thesis based, fully or partially, on work at LCLS. These publications are extremely important in presenting scientific achievements and productive use of the valuable resource of beam time.

All publications, and student theses, related to work fully or partially undertaken at LCLS should contain the following acknowledgement:

"Portions of this research were carried out at the Linac Coherent Light Source, a national user facility operated by Stanford University on behalf of the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Basic Energy Sciences."

Additionally, as members of the SLAC community, LCLS scientists have the responsibility for ensuring that any manuscript based on research conducted at SLAC which has been (or will be) submitted for publication outside of SLAC is also published as a SLAC Publication. Several help pages are available through InfoMedia to help authors meet reporting requirements.
