Acknowledgments 

How to add us:

EFRC Only

These can include support from individual student/postdoctoral fellowships or use of user facilities.

​

​

EFRC Primary

These are intellectually led by the EFRC, but some aspects were funded by other sources. The acknowledgements may include “primarily supported” to indicate that the EFRC provided the intellectual leadership.

It is important to clearly state which aspect of the research was funded under the EFRC and which other part of the work was supported by each of the acknowledged sponsors

EFRC Secondary

These were intellectually led by an organization other than the EFRC. If the sole EFRC contribution was the use of EFRC-purchased equipment, they should not be reported as an EFRC publication.
