Technician commitment
Cambridge at Royce values the contribution that Research and Technical professionals (RTPs) make to enable and support the generation of research outputs. We believe that this should be appropriately recognised. Where authors have had significant input from a specific RTP, or where Facility staff have generated contributing data, the senior author should consider carefully how the staff member should be acknowledged in the paper. If the contribution of the Facility staff member goes beyond the use of routine techniques or data collection, the senior author should consider adding the staff member as a co-author. If you are uncertain about the acknowledgement required, please use the following one "The Authors acknowledge use of [insert equipment or service used] provided by [insert team or department name], University of Cambridge." For more details and templates, please refer to the University Fair Attribution Guidelines for Technical and Specialist Support https://www.technicians.admin.cam.ac.uk/technician-commitment/fair-attr…
