Acknowledgements/Publication Policies

If USU-GAIM results are used in a presentation, publication, or proposal, contact the USU-GAIM team to ensure that the model results are being used properly. All publications using USU-GAIM results should carry the acknowledgement: "The USU-GAIM Model was developed by the GAIM team (R.W. Schunk, L. Scherliess, J.J. Sojka, D.C. Thompson, L.Zhu) at Utah State University". One copy of any published paper should be sent to Dr. R.W. Schunk so that a bibliography of papers and publications using the USU-GAIM model results can be maintained. The same rules also apply for the use of results obtained from the Ionosphere Forecast Model (IFM). If something is observed in the model results that appears "strange" please contact the USU-GAIM team to investigate the possible problem.

If you use the results from the Runs on Request in a scientific publication or presentation, please acknowledge the CCMC. You can use the following sample text for Acknowledgements:

"Simulation results have been provided by the Community Coordinated Modeling Center at Goddard Space Flight Center through their public Runs on Request system (http://ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov). The CCMC is a multi-agency partnership between NASA, AFMC, AFOSR, AFRL, AFWA, NOAA, NSF and ONR."

In addition, for tracking purposes for our government sponsors, we ask that you notify the CCMC whenever you use CCMC results in a scientific publication or presentation by emailing .
