SuperDARN Data Acknowledgement
Generate appropriate acknowledgements for your SuperDARN data usage
How to generate a SuperDARN Data Acknowledgement...
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.
Protocol For Acknowledging Use of SuperDARN Data...
The partners of the SuperDARN collaboration welcome users of the data and have made available many online tools for data visualization and retrieval. Users are requested to properly acknowledge the sources of data in their work and also to validate their usage by consulting with SuperDARN contact persons. This data acknowledgement tool and the accompanying data usage tool are designed to simplify these tasks.
