==== Q: Why aren’t my edits showing up? ====
A: They will be after the approval by Protofab staff.
==== Q: Is there any Publication Policy in Protofab ====
A: Yes. f you publish on devices or work done using the Protofab, please add an acknowledgement or line of text stating the following (or similar):<blockquote>''A portion of this work was performed in the UCSB Protofab, an open access packaging facility .''</blockquote>This is important for the continued success of the Prototyping Facility. This applies to local UCSB researchers as well.
'''Authorship on Publications'''
If a UCSB staff scientist contributed significant research & development effort (including thinking through fabrication methods), or if you include their data/images in your paper, especially if novel work was developed, you should seriously consider '''adding them as an author''' (while also retaining the above Acknowledgement). Many journals require '''all''' contributing authors to be cited.
Analysis code authored by staff can be cited if it is on a public repository/online location.
Even for repeat processes performed by our staff, it may be appropriate to include the UCSB Staff member that performed the packaging - a number of local research groups and companies always include the person who packaged the devices as authors. Since this is research and development, not a guaranteed off-the-shelf product, every batch requires experience to produce good results for your research. You can specify that the staff member only performed packaging process development.
Process knowledge gained from conversations, advice and brainstorming sessions may also constitute significant "intellectual contribution", and warrant authorship, or be worthy of an acknowledgement. Feel free to contact us if you would like to discuss any of these points, and thank you for understanding.
