Electron Microscopy Acknowledgment


Please acknowledge the Electron Microscopy Center in all publications which include EM data in the following manner or similar: Electron microscopy data were obtained at the University of Massachusetts Electron Microscopy Core Facility, RRID:SCR_027853. 

Work that includes data generated on the Tundra cryo-TEM should acknowledge that this instrument was purchased with support from the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center. 


Research Resource IDentifiers (RRID) are unique identifiers used as a means of identifying and tracking key resources used in research and to generate publications, and to improve transparency of research methods.

They are important for adherence to Rigor and Transparency requirements in NIH funded research, and are essential metrics to ensure continued institutional funding of core facilities.

The Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities (ABRF) has published a guideline to use when considering whether or not to include core laboratory members on their publications, and we ask our users to consider this guide when publishing data generated by the Mass Spectrometry Center.
