Acknowledging Use of NCI Services 

NCI's Terms and Conditions of Access requires NCI Users to "acknowledge NCI in any publications produced using NCI Infrastructure".

Please use the DOI below to cite NCI's infrastructure and services in any publications. Import the preferred citation directly into your reference management tool by downloading as a BibTeX or RIS file

Preferred Citation

NCI Australia (2019). Gadi Supercomputer, NCI Australia. (Service). https://doi.org/10.25914/608bfd1838db2

Where relevant, include both the preferred citation and the full NCI acknowledgement text in any research outputs. E.g. "This research was undertaken with the use of the National Computational Infrastructure (NCI Australia). NCI Australia is enabled by the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS)." When submitting a research paper, cite NCI Services in the acknowledgement section and then also add the preferred NCI citation to the bibliography/references.

Citing Data from the NCI Data Catalogue

NCI hosts a growing amount of data with the repository that is available for the research community. 

The NCI Data Catalogue records key information about data hosted at NCI. For research papers, best practice guidance is to cite relevant source datasets in the references as well as in a separate 'Data and Software Availability' statement. 

While citation styles vary between different disciplines and publishers, a sample template is included below: 

Citation Template

Creator (PublicationYear). Title. Publisher. (ResourceType). Identifier

  • Creator: Author(s) of the resource; where no author(s) are listed the owner(s) should be used.
  • PublicationYear: See 'publication date' on each record.
  • Title: Title of the record.
  • Publisher: NCI Australia.
  • ResourceType: resource type such as 'dataset' or 'collection'.
  • Identifier: Digital Object Identifier (DOI) listed under the 'Catalogue record DOI' field. Wherever possible, use the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) as the persistent link to the catalogue record. In rare cases where there is no DOI listed, instead use the URL to the catalogue record. 
  • DateAccessed: Where relevant (e.g. for regularly updated collections), include the date the data was accessed in the format YYYY-MM-DD.
