Q: How should I acknowledge the LMT in published work?
The observatory asks that you please include the following acknowledgement in papers that use LMT data:
" This work would not have been possible without the long-term financial support from the Mexican Humanities, Science and Technology Funding Agency, CONAHCYT (Consejo Nacional de Humanidades, Ciencias y Tecnologías), and the US National Science Foundation (NSF), as well as the Instituto Nacional de Astrofísica, Óptica y Electrónica (INAOE) and the University of Massachusetts, Amherst (UMass). The operation of the LMT is currently funded by CONAHCYT grant #297324 and NSF grant #2034318. "
For publications based on LMT observations, including archival data, we request that authors also include the scientific project ID (e.g. 2023-S1-MX-46) as in the following statement:
" The data described in this paper include LMT observations conducted under the scientific program YEAR-SEMESTER-COUNTRY-NUMBER (see example above). The authors acknowledge the scientific and technical support of the LMT staff during the observations and generation of data products provided to the authors. "
