Referencing SSRL

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."

You are also encouraged to acknowledge your support staff contact person if they provide help during your beamtime. If the support staff make particularly valuable suggestions or contribute in a non negligible way to the sucess of the experiment, you may consider making them coauthors in resulting publications.

It is very important that you tell us about publications relevant to work conducted at SSRL. Please fill out the publication form.
