Page Charge Support

Papers from NOAO Science Archive

NOAO has funds available to pay page charges for papers utilizing data from the NOAO Science Archive (NSA) through an NSF grant to support cyber-infrastructure and cyber-science. Data currently available from the NSA are limited to the contributed reduced data sets from the NOAO Survey Program. By mid-2006, raw and pipeline reduced data from the NOAO telescopes will be available from the NSA as well.

Researchers who are submitting papers that use data retrieved from the NSA (either through the NOAO NVO Portal or through archive.noao.edu/nsa) should, at the time of journal submission, send an electronic copy of the manuscript to library@noao.edu, stating that they are requesting support from the NSA page charge fund and indicating the journalto which the manuscript has been submitted. Following review for eligibility, the NOAO librarian will respond with confirmation that page charge support will be provided.

Papers for which such support is requested must acknowledge the source of the data (see archive.noao.edu/nsa/acknowledgement.html for the NSA acknowledgement).
