RBSPICE Team Data Use Policies

 

(Draft 02-06-2013)

RBSPICE Data

For a publication or presentation in which some or all of the data used were produced by the RBSPICE instrument of the Van Allen Probes mission, the following guidelines are encouraged:

  • Notify the RBSPICE Principal Investigator (PI) and RBSPICE Instrument Scientist (IS) of the data use and of the investigation objective(s).

  • Invite to be on the authorship the RBSPICE PI and IS and/or their designate(s).   The PI and IS will know if members of the RBSPICE team are working on similar or related topics and could potentially contribute intellectually.

  • Communicate to the RBSPICE PI (Lou Lanzerotti), the RBSPICE IS (Don Mitchell), and the RBSPICE SOC Lead (Jerry W. Manweiler) a copy of the submitted work and/or a PPT/PDF of the presentation.

 

Van Allen Probes Mission Instruments

 

For RBSPICE Team members using data from other instruments of the Van Allen Probes mission, the RBSPICE Team member(s) should

 

  • Notify the Principal Investigator (PI), or his/her designee(s), of the instrument team that produced the data.  

  • Familiarize oneself with the instrument team’s Data Use Policies

    •    Request of the PI as to whom to potentially include as an intellectual contributor to the research work.

    •     Communicate a copy of the submitted research paper to the instrument PI if that individual is not a co-author of the work.

 

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
