Acknowledging DAFNI

We ask that DAFNI be acknowledged in all research outputs, such as talks, publications, software repositories, theses, and databases, which were made possible through collaboration with or the support of DAFNI.

For presentations, publications, talks or theses, a copy should also be shared with DAFNI and listed on the DAFNI website.

For software repositories an appropriate acknowledgement and logo should be visible.

Our preference is to be listed as “the Data & Analytics Facility for National Infrastructure (DAFNI)”.
