Any publication where a device or support from the Biomechanics Core Facility was used must include an acknowledgment like: "We would like to thank the Soft (bio)materials characterization Core Facility (Biomechanics)  at IMSEAM Heidelberg University."

If someone is actively involved in the research projects, then the person have to be regarded as co-author in the publication.

Furthermore as the Biomechanics Core Facility is part of the FI EMS, the following acknowledgment is needed: “Funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the Ministry of Science Baden-Württemberg within the framework of the Excellence Strategy of the Federal and State Governments of Germany“.

Please, use the following logos:

Please, inform the Core Facility about the acknowledgments and every publication.
