Scientific's projects produce results and first result are publications. The last publication of MCM in which is "possible to understand" our partecipation (very rarely in WCG projects, we volunteers are explicitly citated in the Abstract or in the Contributions section) is of 2018.
What we are chruncing for? |

What we are chruncing for? Are you expecting a formal citation in a peer reviewed journal for providing distributing computing resources? The best you can hope for in a peer reviewed journal is a formal acknowledgment of support, I believe, along the lines of "this work is supported by the NSF, World Community Grid, etc." kind of thing. FWIW, I am a co-author of over 50 papers in Physical Review Letters and Physical Review D, all of which involve computationally intensive work. I can't recall a single instance of debating whether we should cite our computers (or any other hardware that supported the research). Macromancer |

According to the November 2020 Monthly Update :
----------------------------------------"Lung cancer paper The researchers have been working on a paper about their lung cancer findings for some time. This has included collaborating with their colleagues who work in the clinical space to help flesh out the paper. They're now close to a final draft, and plan to start submitting the paper to journals to be considered for publication in the next few weeks." We are currently crunching Sarcoma biomarkers work units.

So, what's the problem to do this? A lot of project insert the name of project directly in the title of the paper, like here and here and here and...(i can continue for dozens of paper) Other projects insert the name of the project in Acknowledgments section, like here and here and here and... (i can continue for dozens of paper) I can't recall a single instance of debating whether we should cite our computers (or any other hardware that supported the research). Other researches do it, in Acknowledgments [Edit 1 times, last edit by [VENETO] boboviz at Feb 4, 2021 9:28:16 PM] |

I can't recall a single instance of debating whether we should cite our computers (or any other hardware that supported the research). You don't have to motivate your computers, you just have to feed them electricity. If the authors want more free computing capacity, they had better think of a more enlightened policy. |
