15. Publication and Dissemination of Spitzer Results
It is expected that scientific results obtained through Spitzer Space
Telescope observations, archival research, and theoretical investigations will
be published in the scientific literature. All publications based on
Spitzer data must carry an appropriate acknowledgment. Investigators
should consult the SSC website for the appropriate acknowledgment
template(s).
In papers describing Spitzer results, investigators should provide
reference(s) to seminal papers
describing the Observatory, including the relevant science
instruments. These references are posted on the SSC website at http://ssc.spitzer.caltech.edu/pubs/seminalobs.html.
Moreover, the SSC encourages investigators to provide reference(s) to seminal Legacy Science project
results, where appropriate.
The publication and dissemination of Spitzer science results is critical
in assessing the success of the mission, and its contributions to NASA's
strategic plans in space science. The Spitzer community is reminded of the
important responsibility inherent in utilizing this national resource, and
in sharing the scientific results with the general public. The SSC
Director encourages investigators with newsworthy results to utilize the
resources and services of
the SSC, JPL and NASA to help disseminate important results to the
mass media and to the general public.
