After Your Experiment

Read the ESRF Data Policy and the status of its implementation on the different beamlines

It is useful for us to have your feedback on your experiment and stay at the ESRF. To help improve our service to users, we ask each user team coming to the ESRF to complete the User Evaluation Form.

If you have been allocated public beam time for an experiment at ESRF you are required to submit a report within the period of 3 months following the end of your experiment and no later than the next call for proposal submission deadline, via the ESRF User Portal (SMIS).

Get more detailed information on experimental reports (for Standard Experiment, MX Rolling Experiment, BAG Experiment, LTP Experiment).

Scientists awarded public beam time are expected
 

• to publish their results
   
• to sign a statement (Declaration Form) that they will give proper credit to ESRF staff members and experimental facilities, the beamline in particular, which were essential for the results described in any ensuing publication
   
• to send to the Joint ESRF/ILL library the complete reference and the abstract of all papers appearing in print, and resulting from the use of the ESRF.
   
• to send the joint ESRF/ILL library the author version of their publications

The ESRF’s address should be cited as follows:

ESRF, The European Synchrotron
71 Avenue des Martyrs
38000 Grenoble
France

The review committees are paying increasing attention to the quality of Publications resulting from work carried out at the ESRF. Please remember to note on the proposal form the complete references of your most recent papers appearing in print, based on measurements made at the ESRF.

For each publication, please ensure that you:

• Mention the beamline on which you obtained data,
• Acknowledge assistance from ESRF staff, according to the following template: "We acknowledge the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility for provision of synchrotron radiation facilities and we would like to thank xyz for assistance in using beamline ###."
• Remember to register your publication in the Joint ESRF/ILL library database. Register directly through this link, or by sending an email with the publication reference to the library.

Eligible users who receive financial support from the ESRF for travel, accommodation and subsistence expenses directly related to the experiment should send their reimbursement claim form as soon as possible to the ESRF User Office. Details on reimbursement procedure here.
