Acknowledging TERN
TERN provides data, samples and site-based research infrastructure freely to Australian and international scientific communities.
In recognition of these research services, we ask that when you use them, you acknowledge NCRIS-enabled TERN.
Reporting on the use of digital assets and research infrastructure is a key performance indicator for TERN. The simple step of acknowledging TERN enables us to record that the infrastructure is being used, and helps TERN to continue to be funded to deliver long term ecological monitoring data and samples.
