At the last Project meeting I attended in March I raised the question of
the words we'd like authors of scientific papers using our software to
give in their acknowledgments. The words in the Starlink FAQ a little
dated. Project Staff were supposed to contact me with suggestions, but
none have appeared in my inbox. So I thought I'd throw it out to a
wider audience. Besides the words, should we ask for a footnote, IRAF
style? This is more noticeable flicking through pages of the
astronomical literature. We ask that it include the Starlink URL.
The question of citation was prompted by the acknowledgments in a paper
which used ORAC-DR. Tim do you have any more thoughts on that, being
fair to all parties, yet concise?
