Reporting Publications to the APS: Policy

Users will notify the host beamline and the APS of publications resulting from work conducted here, including the digital object identifier (DOI). Users can find their DOIs on the "My DOI" tab in the APS User Portal. Beginning with the 2025-2 user run, the APS will send an email with the DOI number to everyone on the experimental safety assessment form (ESAF) when the ESAF is posted. The APS Publications Database is the official record of publications derived from research at, or produced by employees of, the APS. It is the official source for lists of APS-related publications provided to the APS Scientific Advisory Committee and other review panels, the U.S. Department of Energy, and other government and funding agencies. In addition, proposals for beam time at the APS could be evaluated on the basis of publications in this database. Users will acknowledge the APS and the appropriate beamline(s) when reporting results obtained at the APS.
