Acknowledging SMIF

Recognition and acknowledgement in publications, presentations, and patents demonstrate that SMIF is fulfilling our mission to support and enable your research. When research conducted at SMIF generates data that are included in a publication, we expect that SMIF be appropriately acknowledged. We recommend the following wording:

This work was performed in part at the Duke University Shared Materials Instrumentation Facility (SMIF) (RRID:SCR_027480), a member of the North Carolina Research Triangle Nanotechnology Network (RTNN), which is supported by the National Science Foundation (award number ECCS-2025064) as part of the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI).

Please note, if staff members assisted in designing your experiment, interpreting your data, or made any other substantial intellectual contribution, we ask that you acknowledge their efforts and, when appropriate, offer co-authorship on the resulting publication. See Recommended Principles of Authorship from the Duke Research Policy Manual and list of recognized contributor roles.
