How to Acknowledge Use of SuperDARN Data
- This tool assists the user in generating a statement of acknowledgement for use of SuperDARN data appropriate to a particular study.
- It will output information about the countries, institutions, funding agencies, and awards to credit in a format suitable for inclusion in the Acknowledgements section of a paper or presentation.
- Information about contact persons is also generated.
Notes on Acknowledging Use of SuperDARN Data...
Tables of SuperDARN radars are provided below. If a radar is identified by name in the work,
tick its box, and tick as many boxes as necessary. If the work instead only makes reference to
'SuperDARN' or 'SuperDARN radars,' then leave the boxes unticked. Hitting the 'Generate Acknowledgement'
button will then produce text suitable to be copied and pasted into an Acknowledgements statement.
The Acknowledgement text will be followed by a Table that lists contact information for each radar
that has been identified. If they haven't already, users are requested to contact the persons indicated
to review their usage of the data and to determine whether coauthorship is appropriate. If the work in
question does not identify individual radars by name, the user should use their best judgement as to
which SuperDARN PI group to contact.
