Durham University adopts Fair Attribution Policy for Research Technical Professionals

Durham University is a proud signatory of the Technician Commitment, recognising the importance of RTPs (as well as other research-enabling staff), and the equipment and facilities they manage, in enabling and conducting research within the University. 

Under the Commitment, and as part of the University’s Action Plan for implementing its principles in policy and practice, the University is committed to ensuring that, where technical staff have contributed to research outputs and grants, that their contribution is appropriately acknowledged (usually as an author, or where not appropriate as a non-author contributor to the work). 

We have created our policy on "Authorship and Acknowledgement: Recognising Contribution and Fair 
Attribution for Research Technical Professionals (RTP) and other Research-performing & Research-enabling Staff in Research 
Publications"
