Author Publication Affiliation and Acknowledgements

Those who might fall under consideration for requiring acknowledgement could include:

• Students
• Research assistants
• technical officers
• individuals and organisations which have provided data or other forms of support which contributed to the research findings being reported, in line with any disciplinary norms.

Acknowledgement should be careful not to imply endorsement by acknowledged parties, and the University would advise that the corresponding author should obtain permission to be acknowledged from all acknowledged parties.

If the research has been funded, then this must be acknowledged including the grant number – e.g., "This work was supported by the Wellcome Trust [grant numbers xxxx, yyyy]; the Arts and Humanities Research Council [grant number zzzz]”  Grant number format must exactly match that used by the funder, including the correct punctuation.
