BECC in affiliations or acknowledgements

Affiliation

Affiliation is a researcher's connection or affiliation with a university or other organization. 

A researcher's affiliation is important in bibliometric analyses to link publications to the higher learning institution at which the research was conducted. Correct affiliation is important in evaluations and distribution of funds both between higher education institutions and within them.

Affiliation in scientific papers

It is not possible to affiliate with BECC in scientific papers since this would require a Box-address, which BECC does not have. Usually, your affiliation in scientific papers is the home university (department/s).

Affiliation in scientific reports, for example synthesis and policy briefs

When possible, add BECC as an organisation that you are affiliated with, together with the home university and department. This is especially important if your work was financed by BECC. Example of how to write the affiliation:

Department of Biology, Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate (BECC), Lund University.

Acknowledgment

Acknowledgment: When publishing research results, an acknowledgement indicates the support the author has received, such as financial support.

Acknowledgement in scientific publications, talks and posters, reports, and relevant applications

Most often the best option to highlight BECC is in the acknowledgements, this goes for relevant applications, talks, posters, reports, and scientific publications etc.

Always acknowledge BECC if:

  • You have received funding from BECC to work with the product at hand.
  • You are a BECC PI and the product is of BECC-relevance. 

We welcome the acknowledgment of BECC if:

  • You have received administrative support from BECC to work with the product at hand.
  • You are in a setting where it is relevant to showcase BECC.

Examples of how to write acknowledgments:

“X is supported by the Strategic Research Area “Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services in a Changing Climate”, BECC, funded by the Swedish government.”

“The research presented in this paper is a contribution to the Strategic Research Area “Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services in a Changing Climate”, BECC, funded by the Swedish government.”

Highlight BECC in profiles on ResearchGate and on social media

If you have a profile on ResearchGate, we encourage you to name BECC in the Affiliation section, under the heading Description. 

If you are active on LinkedIn, we encourage you to name BECC in the profile description, or in the experience section.

If you are active on Bluesky, we encourage you to tag the BECC-account, or name BECC in your profile description, if there is room.
