Citation & Metrics
The Library's Bibliometrics and Impact Factor Guide explains how impact factor is used and calculated in journal and article rankings, as well as other methods of citation analysis.
FDP Sponsored Research
Federal Demonstration Partnership (FDP) agencies require both an acknowledgment of sponsor support and a disclaimer in any publication - copyrighted or not - resulting from work conducted under an FDP project.
Required Acknowledgement
"This material is based upon work supported by the [name of awarding agency(ies)] under Award No. [award number(s) assigned by awarding agency(ies)]."
Required Disclaimer
"Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this publication are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the [name of awarding agency(ies)]."
In addition, any solicitation issued using federal grant funds to procure goods and services (including construction) costing $500,000 or more must state both the amount and the percentage of the total costs that will be financed with federal funds.
Non-FDP Sponsored Research
Most other sponsors also require specific acknowledgments in publications. If you are unsure of the necessary citation language:
- Review the award terms and conditions carefully, and/or
- Contact your OSP Officer for guidance.
