It is important to acknowledge the Bioinformatics Center, Biocenter Kuopio<\/a> and Biocenter Finland<\/a> for any services\u2014such as computing infrastructure or expert support\u2014in publications where these services have contributed to the work. Below are instructions on how to properly acknowledge along with an explanation of why this is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Acknowledge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Proper acknowledgment provides a visible measure of the Bioinformatics Center\u2019s impact on research and supports the ongoing development of its infrastructure. The Bioinformatics Center\u2019s staff are trained scientists who, when making significant intellectual contributions to a publication, merit recognition as co-authors, consistent with standard authorship practices. Such acknowledgment also supports their professional development and career progression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to Acknowledge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Acknowledge the Bioinformatics Center whenever its services have supported your research. If a staff member has made a significant intellectual contribution to your research, please consider co-authorship as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to Acknowledge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Include acknowledgments in papers, posters, presentations, and all scholarly publications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Acknowledge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If a staff member\u2019s contribution does not warrant co-authorship, a mention in the Acknowledgements section of the manuscript is sufficient. Be sure to also acknowledge the Bioinformatics Center, Biocenter Kuopio and Biocenter Finland if your work utilized its computing infrastructure. Always ensure the Bioinformatics Center, Biocenter Kuopio and Biocenter Finland are referred to correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
