Acknowledgement of Funders

Recognition

There should be suitable recognition and reward to all parties who undertake activities that deliver benefit through the application of research outcomes.

Journal publications should acknowledge the funding source using the standard format agreed by funders and publishers, as specified below:

For articles published in journals, or deposited in institutional or subject-based repositories, the acknowledgement of funding should take the form of a sentence as in the following example, with the funding agency written out in full, followed by the Training Grant number in square brackets.

Example 1: ‘This work was supported by the Medical Research Council [grant number xxxx].’ Multiple grant numbers should be separated by comma and space.

Where the research was supported by more than one agency, the different agencies should be separated by a semicolon, with "and" before the final funder.

Example 2: ‘This work was supported by the Medical Research Council [grant numbers xxxx, yyyy]; the Natural Environment Council [grant number zzzz]; and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Council [grant number XXXX].’
