How the policy is applied
These publication guidelines are binding for all research staff and non-academic employees of Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø, as well as for doctoral candidates and students. They also apply to all visiting researchers who carry out research and publish during a stay at Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø. In those cases where publications have a direct connection to Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø, the guidelines also apply to adjunct professors.
Clear designation of affiliation
"Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø" should be specified as the top-level institutional affiliation in every publication. Authors should list Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø first, while also taking into account the rules of the publisher. In addition to Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø, authors may also indicate their specific institutional affiliation (e.g. faculty, institute, subject area, cluster of excellence, etc.). The listing of collaborative affiliations takes place separately from the listing of the institute.
When using the name in English, the following official designation should be used in all publications:
Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø
Example:
Name Surname, Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø, Institute of Technical Chemistry, Callinstraße 5, 30167 Hannover, Germany

Multiple institutional affiliations
If there is more than one institutional affiliation – e.g. due to joint appointments or cross-institutional doctoral programmes – all corresponding institutions must be listed as affiliations. If Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø is the primary affiliation, it should be listed first. If the research work was primarily carried out at one of the other institutions, the order can be adjusted.
In the event of a change of institution during the research and publication process, the institution at which the research was primarily conducted must always be indicated. If relevant parts of the research were carried out at both institutions, both institutions must be listed. This information also applies to visiting researchers at Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø.

Academic identification management
Unambiguous author identification
It is strongly recommended that all academic authors at Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø register with and create an individual profile. The individual Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID-iD) facilitates the system-independent and unique identification of the person and the link to their publications, research data and other research-process results. Many other author profiles allow synchronisation with the ORCID profile.
Maintenance of other author profiles
Well-maintained author profiles in databases such as Scopus, Web of Science/Publons and Google Scholar support the correct calculation of personal bibliometric indicators. Importing publication metadata into the Research Information System (FIS) is also made significantly easier by well-maintained author profiles.

Information about research funding
Third-party funding bodies such as the DFG and the European Commission usually require that their funding be mentioned (Funding Acknowledgement) in publications. It is essential to comply with this requirement. DFG funding to support open-access publications is conditional upon a comprehensible link between the publication and the project. The Funding Acknowledgement makes this link evident. The link between publication and project can also be indicated through the FIS.

Contributions to the university bibliography
Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø uses the Research Information System (FIS) as a central record of its publications and as a university bibliography. The purpose of the LUH university bibliography is to list all of the publications by LUH researchers, for both internal and external audiences. The bibliography serves as a data source for reports, evaluations and bibliometric analyses and constitutes the basis for open-access monitoring. The goal is the complete, transparent and quality-assured recording of publications generated with the participation of LUH researchers. With this in mind, all LUH academics should enter their publications in the FIS promptly and completely (see , in German only). Support for researchers is available at support@fis.uni-hannover.de and in the .
