Guidelines for addresses and acknowledgements
External agencies are increasingly using citation analysis as one means of ranking institutional applications.
Such analysis searches for the appropriate hospital, as well as university, names in the address lines of publications.
The Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health has now developed guidelines on how to cite your address in the publications that arise from your PGR studies.
It is recognised that some journals may restrict the level of detail that can be included. However, the following should be used wherever possible.
All PGRs

Centre name if applicable (such as Manchester Collaborative Centre for Inflammation Research), Division of XXXXX, School of YYYYY, Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health, University of Manchester, Manchester Academic Health Science Centre, rest of address as appropriate - Manchester M13 9PL, UK

Acknowledgements
When externally funded facilities have been used in a study it is very important, for their annual reports, and therefore the likelihood of further funding, that they are acknowledged. These might include, for example, our:
- core facilities (such as bioimaging or the single cell facility)
- NIHR Clinical Research Facilities
- UKCRC accredited MAHSC Clinical Trials Unit.
Appropriate wording can be provided by facility managers.
The involvement of Greater Manchester Local Clinical Research Network funded staff must also be acknowledged, for example: 'this study was facilitated by the Great Manchester Local Clinical Research Network'.
