How to Acknowledge the NYSPI MRI Research Program

Detailed descriptions of experimental materials and methods for publications and grants provide transparent reporting. If you’ve used instruments, services, expertise, or data provided by the NYSPI MRI Research Program that is published, presented, or used in a grant application, media release, or any other form of media, we appreciate being acknowledged. Proper acknowledgement enables us to demonstrate our involvement in the research of many laboratories and institutions and helps with future funding.

As a courtesy and for copyright purposes, we also request that you inform us of the publication of any images that were created by the NYSPI MRI Research Program.

The suggested acknowledgement should be worded this way: “This work was supported, in part, by [insert your other funding sources here] and was also performed at the NYSPI MRI Research Program, a shared resource and Columbia MR Research Center site.”

Authorship should be considered when scientists from the NYSPI MRI Research Program make intellectual contributions involving experimental design, advanced analysis, or scientific interpretation.

In addition, if your study was funded by the NYSPI MRI Research Program pilot grant:

 “This study was funded [in part] by the Pilot Grant Program for MR Studies of the NYSPI MRI Research Program at Columbia University and Columbia MR Research Center site.”
