We ask that CoSeC be acknowledged in all research outputs, such as talks, publications, software repositories, theses, and databases, which were made possible through collaboration with or the support of CoSeC.
For presentations, publication, talks or theses, a copy should also be shared with CoSeC and registered on ePUBS (ePUBS is for STFC staff only).
For software repositories an appropriate acknowledgement and logo should be visible.
Our preference is to be listed as ‘the Computational Science Centre for Research Communities (CoSeC)’ .
