An easy-to-use tool is now available for generating text to acknowledge use of SuperDARN data. The tool is available as a menu item on this website and directly at
http://vt.superdarn.org/data-acknowledgement
A user need only indicate the radars that were named in their particular study and the tool will output a statement on the countries, institutions, funding agencies, and awards to credit in a format suitable for inclusion in the Acknowledgements section of a paper or presentation. If no radars are specifically named (as might be the case for a study of global convection patterns) then no radars need to be indicated and a generic statement will be generated.
In addition, the tool will generate a list of people to contact regarding the use of data from particular radars. Users are encouraged to interact early in their studies with data providers in order to ensure that the SuperDARN data are valid and optimized for their particular applications.
