Acknowledgment

Acknowledgment of core facility services and instruments supported by Montana State University are required in publications and are a key performance indicator of a facility's research activity. Citing core facilities in your publications will help ensure that core facilities continue to be here to provide training, instrumentation, and support in the future.

When citing a core facility, please ensure that you are referencing their Research Resource Identifier (RRID) number, and funding source. A citation example for the ARC is provided below:

"This work used the Animal Resources Center (RRID:SCR_026351) which is supported by the Office of Research and Economic Development at Montana State University."
