Publications

When do we claim that a publication is IMBeR’s?

While IMBeR encourages all research which addresses questions falling under the IMBeR Science Plan and Implementation Strategy (2016-2025), we only claim a publication as being IMBeR’s when the publication would not have arisen without the involvement of IMBeR or being linked to an IMBeR “Activity”. These publications are categorised as either a Class 1 or Class 2 publications:

Class 1 publications

Specifically generated through/by/from/during IMBeR activities – for example, arising from IMBIZOs and IMBeR conferences such as the IMBeR open science meeting and the IMBeR CJK symposia and from the activities of the working groups, regional programmes and the SPIS scoping teams.

Class 2 publications

On topics relevant to the IMBeR Science Plan that benefitted from some interaction with IMBeR or IMBeR activities, for example by IMBeR symposium attendees, past and present SSC members, working group, regional programme and endorsed project members, or national contacts.

Class 3 publications

Are on topics relevant to the IMBeR Science Plan but for which there is no direct link to or benefit from an IMBeR activity. These might include publications by SSC members, working group, regional programme or endorsed project members or members of the IMBeR international community that were written as part of the normal scientific activity of the authors and would have occurred irrespective of IMBeR’s existence. IMBeR does not ‘claim’ Class 3 publications and these are not logged in the IMBeR Zotero libraries.
