Acknowledge the ANC¶

To support the ongoing development and sustainability of the Austrian NeuroCloud (ANC), it is important that we can track its impact. Here you find text snippets that can be copied into your manuscript to acknowledge the ANC.

Add the ANC in the acknowledgements¶

As outlined in the Terms of Service, researchers are asked to acknowledge the ANC in any scientific publication describing data stored in the repository.

Acknowledgement text

The data described in this article is deposited in and accessible through the Austrian NeuroCloud (https://anc.plus.ac.at/).

Data Availability Statement¶

For a more detailed Data Availability Statement, you may use the following text:

Data Availability Statement text

[The dataset] is available through the Austrian NeuroCloud (https://anc.plus.ac.at/) at: [insert dataset DOI]. The ANC is a research data repository designed for FAIR and trustworthy data management in neuroscience. The dataset is assigned a persistent DOI to ensure long-term findability and citation, and metadata are publicly accessible via the DOI landing page.

If access to your dataset is restricted due to MRI images from which facial features could be reconstructed (e.g., non-defaced T1-weighted scans), please include the following additional statement:

Additional text restricted access to MRI data

The dataset contains MRI images from which facial features could be reconstructed and therefore personal data in the sense of the GDPR. In compliance with the GDPR and the FOG (Forschungsorganisationsgesetz, https://www.ris.bka.gv.at/GeltendeFassung.wxe?Abfrage=Bundesnormen&Gesetzesnummer=10009514) this data cannot be made publicly available. Access to this dataset is restricted but may be granted for research and educational purposes upon request. For details, please refer to the ANC Handbook (https://handbook.anc.plus.ac.at/anc-basics/request_access_to_dataset.html).

Acknowledge the large research equipment¶

If your data was acquired with one of the large research devices (Großgeräte) at the University of Salzburg, please also acknowledge the device. Each device is registered in the Austrian research infrastructure database. Copy the snippet for the device you used into your acknowledgements or methods section:

MEG

MEG data were acquired with the Elekta TRIUX MEG system (Laboratory for Quantum Biomagnetism 1 – Cryogenic MEG) at the Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience, University of Salzburg (https://forschungsinfrastruktur.bmfwf.gv.at/en/fi/elekta-triux-meg-laboratory-for-quantum-biomagnetism-1-cryogenic-meg_3120).
MRI

MRI data were acquired with the Siemens Magnetom Prisma MRI system at the Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience, University of Salzburg (https://forschungsinfrastruktur.bmfwf.gv.at/en/fi/mrt-system-magnetom-prisma_177).
HD-EEG

EEG data were acquired with the 256-channel high-density EEG system (Electrical Geodesics) at the Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience, University of Salzburg (https://forschungsinfrastruktur.bmfwf.gv.at/en/fi/high-density-eeg-256-channels-electrical-geodesics_2823).
Kinarm

Movement data were acquired with the KINARM (Kinesiological Instrument for Normal and Altered Reaching Movement) at the University of Salzburg (https://forschungsinfrastruktur.bmfwf.gv.at/en/fi/kinarm-kinesiological-instrument-for-normal-and-altered-reaching-movement_5279).
