This is a regular reminder about accurate affiliations in papers and elsewhere. There are a few things you should all be doing – most of you do these already, and I am grateful! This information can also be found on the CIRES Admin blog.
- Use CIRES/CU Boulder affiliation. CIRES researchers should include their CIRES affiliation in all publications. NOAA laboratories and centers also appreciate affiliations, so please use both, eg:
- 1=Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, CU Boulder
- or CIRES, University of Colorado Boulder); 2=NOAA Chemical Sciences Laboratory (or PSL, NCEI, etc.)
- Include your CIRES affiliation in other communications too, including emails, presentations, conference abstracts, seminar announcements, and when engaging with journalists and the general public. Sample signature lines are here.
- Please do not represent yourself as a federal employee, and do not use CIESRDS as an affiliation (use it in acknowledgment).
- 1=Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, CU Boulder
- Acknowledge NOAA funding. Most CIRES researchers working at NOAA are funded at least partly by our cooperative agreement (CA) and should acknowledge this in all papers and other products. Sample acknowledgments:
- This research was supported (in part / by / etc.) NOAA cooperative agreement NA22OAR4320151.
- This research was supported (in part / by / etc.) NOAA cooperative agreement NA22OAR4320151, for the Cooperative Institute for Earth System Research and Data Science (CIESRDS).
- CIRES Visiting Fellows, Please acknowledge CA funding when publishing work related to your time at CIRES. Eg: [NAME] was supported by the CIRES Visiting Fellows Program, funded by NOAA Cooperative Agreement NA22OAR4320151.
- Add a disclaimer if your work is funded in part or completely by the cooperative agreement. This is a requirement from the Department of Commerce and our understanding is this should be added whether you are lead author or not. Please add to your acknowledgments section: The statements, findings, conclusions, and recommendations are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of NOAA or the U.S. Department of Commerce.
If you’re interested in more detail, there is a “CIESRDS naming conventions” google doc that the CIESRDS Scientific and Administrative Manager and CIRES Communications Director are keeping updated.
