Background
CSIRO hosts a number of national facilities, collections or research infrastructure to support national and international science teams to undertake their research. This includes biological collections within National Research Collections Australia (Algae, Fish, Herbarium, Insect, Tree Seed, Wildlife collections), National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy-funded facilities including the Marine National Facility and the Atlas of Living Australia, and the Australia Telescope National Facility and the Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness. Collectively these facilities support many thousands of users annually delivering both science and decision-making impact to multiple sectors.
Ensuring these facilities, and the role CSIRO plays in hosting them is appropriately cited and acknowledged remains an important goal for our organisation to better understand the impact we deliver. The following provides an overview of preferred citation and acknowledgement statements for these facilities.
