Terms of use

By using our services you accept our terms of use:

Carrying out the analysis

You can have the analysis performed by core personnel or you can use the instruments yourself, provided you are a licensed user (training to become a licensed user will include the hourly fee of the instrument).

iLab

To use the services and equipment at Proteomics and Modomics Experimental Core Facility (PROMEC), you need to book the instrument/service. Links to the booking page and the registration page are available at the bottom of our front page.

Even when core facility personnel performs all aspects of the request, we still need the patron to be registered in iLab to be invoiced.

Publishing results

Co-authorship

If highly qualified technical personnel or scientific personnel contribute with their scientific knowledge to solve the scientific questions, they should be co-authors according to the "ICMJE Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals concerning Authorship and Contributor ship".

Use of instruments and assisted use of instruments in well-known methods and performed by technical staff, is not enough to require co-authorship.

Visibility

To ensure our existence we need to show that scientists are using PROMEC and that our services are reflected in publications. In order to make this visible PROMEC should be mentioned in the acknowledgements when you use data acquired at PROMEC in your publications. Please use this sentence (it also acknowledges the e-infrastructure that we use to store your data):

The XXX work/service was performed by the Proteomics and Modomics Experimental Core Facility (PROMEC), Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). PROMEC is funded by the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at NTNU and the Central Norway Regional Health Authority. Data storage and handling is supported under the NIRD/Notur project NN9036K.

In addition we would very much appreciate if you notified PROMEC when your paper is accepted for publication, so that we can register it in our archive.
