When your research utilizes Cedars‑Sinai's institutional shared facilities, proper acknowledgment is essential. We rely on authorship and acknowledgment to demonstrate our impact. This recognition enables us to secure financial and other support, allowing us to continue providing essential services in the best possible way.

Core facility personnel are scientists. When we make an intellectual and/or experimental contribution to a publication, or the work carried out has been significantly more than would normally be expected, you might consider naming that core staff member in the acknowledgment section or adding them as a co‑author on the paper. The decision of authorship or acknowledgment ultimately rests with you.
