Authorship Policies

Payment of fees for data analysis services and authorship on publications, grants, and/or patents are not mutually exclusive. Depending on their contributions to a project, HUMANOID Core scientists should be considered collaborators at the same level as other academic colleagues who contribute intellectually and receive funding for work on a project. We follow the general guidelines for authorship laid out by most Journal Editors. The recovery of Core expenses through the recharge system does not exclude the possibility for authorship for Core personnel. Similarly, authorship does not substitute for payment of Core expenses for services rendered.

Citation:

Please acknowledge the appropriate entities (UC San Diego’s PreCSN, HUMANOID CoRE, and/or ACoE) when crediting our contributions to written works. Depending on the project scope, grants may need to be cited. Please contact us to ensure appropriate citation of funding source. 

Data Storage:

Raw data sets submitted to us and analysis results will be stored on our servers for 30 days after completion of analysis. It is the responsibility of requestors to backup all pertinent files on their own internal or cloud storage systems.
