Attribution of services

When using services from our technology platform, proper attribution is essential. Depending on the nature of our involvement, there are two appropriate ways to attribute our contribution:

1. Acknowledgment

If we performed services without substantial intellectual contribution (e.g., no involvement in study design, data interpretation, or novelty), a simple acknowledgment in your publication suffices.

Example sentence:

“We thank [names of involved staff] of NEXUS Personalized Health at ETH Zurich for their support with [e.g., data analysis, high-throughput screening, assay implementation, etc.].”

2. Co-authorship

If our team contributed significantly to the study - such as in experimental design, data interpretation, method development, or novel insights - co-authorship must be considered. This aligns with the ETH Zurich Guidelines for Scientific Integrity. All staff scientists at NEXUS have the following affiliations:

¹NEXUS Personalized Health, ETH Zurich, 8092 Zurich, Switzerland
²SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland

Uncertain? Please to clarify the appropriate form of attribution.
