Reporting Requirements & Acknowledgment Statements

SSRL submits several annual reports to the Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health which require up-to-date publications listings, science highlights, updates on awards received, patents filed and journal covers, etc. This documentation is extremely important in presenting our scientific achievements and productivity, and thus funding case to these agencies. Users are asked to inform us about each publication or thesis based, fully or partially, on work at SSRL.  Please simply fill out the publication form.  

The following statement should be included in the acknowledgement section of publications that are based in part or fully on data collected at the macromolecular crystallography beamlines:

"Portions of this research were carried out at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory, a national user facility operated by Stanford University on behalf of the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Basic Energy Sciences. The SSRL Structural Molecular Biology Program is supported by the Department of Energy, Office of Biological and Environmental Research, and by the National Institutes of Health, National Center for Research Resources, Biomedical Technology Program, and the National Institute of General Medical Sciences."

Additional information regarding referencing the use of supported software/hardware at the SSRL can be found in the User Guide. Please use the appropriate references in your publications.
