SLAC Employee Paid by SLAC or in any way receiving funding from SLAC while performing work. This work performed [in part] under DOE Contract DE-AC02-76SF00515.
SLAC User User or collaborator paid by another institution who uses SLAC resources (including office space, computer equipment, personnel, etc.) in the writing of their FGST scientific and technical documents. This work performed [in part] under DOE Contract DE-AC02-76SF00515 [and any other funding agencies].
Student Writes papers or bases their thesis on FGST work while here at SLAC or under the direction of a SLAC/KIPAC advisor. This work performed [in part] under DOE Contract DE-AC02-76SF00515 [and any other funding agencies].
What is a SLAC Author's Responsibility?

If you are a SLAC employee or any portion of your work otherwise funded by SLAC, and listed as an author or co-author on an FGST paper, then you are responsible for completing the SLAC Document Registration process. This process consists of ensuring that the proper SLAC acknowledgement appears on the paper, obtaining a SLAC document number, and submitting a preprint version of the paper to InfoMedia Solutions via SciDoc.

If questions contact Elliott Bloom or Tune Kamae for assistance.

Exceptions

As a rare exception, for non-SLAC employee members or affiliates of FGST that reference a SLAC employee's contribution in the author list or in the acknowledgements, but strongly believe that the document does not represent work done at SLAC or using SLAC resources, a SLAC document number may not be required. Exceptions should be routed through Elliott Bloom or Tune Kamae.
