Affiliations

What is this about?

Affiliations allow for accurate appropriation of publications by institutions. When used correctly, affiliations can provide easy insight into an institution's scientific output and make it comparable to other institutions. Inaccurate, misspelled, and omitted affiliations lead to skewed results when researching institutional scientific output, which may affect an institution's ranking and funding.

For whom is this important?

What are the best practices?

Each institution should have its official, long and shortened affiliations for the institution in general, as well as its departments in specific.

Every author should list affiliations for all institutions they're connected to, regardless of which institution funds the research.
