Publication Policy and FEMR Acknowledgments


The FEMR is supported by McGill University and grants from the Tri-Agencies and other funding agencies and the Canadian Foundation for Innovation for purchases of instruments and equipment. This support should be acknowledged in publications and presentations made possible by the work conducted at the FEMR.  Acknowledgements help us justify continued support of the facility at the university, provincial and federal levels. A list of publications produced in collaboration or accessing the research infrastructure of the FEMR also is an integral part of the Annual Report to the Vice-Principal (Research and International Relations) and the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences.

In projects where the FEMR staff provide data collection-only services on user-provided ready-to-image specimens, the following acknowledgments should be included in the publication: 

  1. In the data collection section of your Materials and Methods section, please mention the data were collected on a (specify microscope here) electron microscope located at the Facility for Electron Microscopy Research at McGill University.

  2. Acknowledgements of specific FEMR staff contributions may also be appropriate. For example: We thank ________ at the Facility for Electron Microscopy Research of McGill University for help in microscope operation and data collection. 

In projects where the FEMR staff enable customized approaches for data collection or add significant intellectual contributions to make the work possible, the staff should be included as co-author(s). 

After the paper is published, please complete and submit the publication reference via the submission webform or send the pdf reprint of the article or complete citation to stephen.sears [at] mcgill.ca (subject: Publication%20Citation) (S Kelly Sears)
