How to Acknowledge the Facility

To help us maintain our funding and track the impact of our facility, we require all researchers, both internal and external, to acknowledge the Advanced FT-IR User Facility in any publications, presentations, or dissertations that include data collected using our instruments.

The founding director of the Advanced FTIR Research Facility, Professor Aihua Xie, is grateful to essential supports from Dr. Robert Burnap (Regent Professor of Microbiology & Molecular Genetics), Dr. Junpeng Deng (Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology), Dr. Steven Hartson (the Director of the OSU Proteomics and DNA Sequencing Core Facility), and Dr. Wouter D Hoff (Professor of Microbiology & Molecular Genetics). In addition, this facility would be not possible without the technical supports from Chris Wood, Charles Hunt, and Mohammad Hadidi from the OSU College of Arts and Sciences

Note: If facility staff provided significant scientific input, data analysis, or experimental design beyond standard training and setup, please consider co-authorship in accordance with standard academic practices.
