DTC Research Report Policy

1)

The Digital Technology Center requests that all DTC affiliated faculty acknowledge when applicable the DTC's support (i.e., funding, space, or administrative and technical support) in either the acknowledgments or in the byline or both of their research reports or preprints.

DTC affiliated Principal Investigators may choose the type (i.e., in byline or acknowledgements, or both) and format/style of acknowledgement they prefer to use. For example, if the PI chooses to acknowledge the DTC in the byline, they could use the following format:

Professor John Smith
Computer Science and Engineering and Digital Technology Center
499 Walter Library
117 Pleasant Street S.E.
Minneapolis, MN 55455

If they prefer to have their correspondence directed to their departmental address, the PI could use the following format:

Professor John Smith
Computer Science and Engineering and Digital Technology Center
4-192 EE/CSci
200 Union Street S.E.
Minneapolis, MN 55455

Questions about the format of acknowledgements can be addressed to Cory Devor (612-625-1716 or devor@dtc.umn.edu)

2)

Electronic versions of all research reports produced by DTC affiliated faculty that acknowledge the DTC's support should be sent to the DTC for inclusion in the DTC research report series. The DTC will accept PostScript, Word, or PDF versions of the reports and will post all versions that are provided, and will also generate a PDF version if that is not sent in. When the report is published, a link will be provided to the publication the report appears in.

3)

These reports will be made available through the DTC's web site. When the report is published, a link will be provided to the publication.

4)

The DTC will keep bibliographies for all reports submitted by DTC affiliated researchers to the DTC research report series.

5)

Annually the DTC will request DTC affiliated faculty to review and update the bibliographic information contained in their DTC bibliography (e.g., publication information).
