NEDA Publication Policy

NEDA Publication Policy as defined by the NEDA Management Board in May 2026

The NEDA publication policy describes the procedure to follow for submission of manuscripts which are based on results obtained with NEDA.

Policy for NEDA physics publications

A NEDA physics publication is defined as a peer-reviewed article that is based on scientific results obtained in an experiment in which NEDA was used. Note that NEDA physics publications as defined here do not include publications for conference proceedings nor technical publications. See below for such publications.

For NEDA physics publications, the NEDA Management Board has approved a list of NEDA core authors.

NEDA physics publications may have, in addition to the main responsible author and the ordinary co-authors (those involved in the experiment, analysis, etc.), a number of additional co-authors, which belong to the NEDA Core Author List. For the first NEDA physics publication based on results from an experiment in which NEDA was used, all persons on the NEDA Core Author List will be asked if they wish to be included as co-authors on the publication.

Information for the main author

If you are the main author of a NEDA physics publication, you must follow these instructions before you submit your article to a journal.

  1. Send the publication as a PDF file by email to István Kuti. In the email, specify which NEDA campaign the publication concerns and a deadline for the NEDA Core Authors to fill in the acceptance webform that asks if they would like to be co-authors on your publication. The recommended deadline is 2 weeks.
  2. When the deadline has passed, a link to the final list of names and affiliations of the NEDA Core Authors, which have answered YES or NO on the acceptance webform, will be available. The final version of the list is available only after the deadline has passed.
  3. You must include all names that have answered YES on this list as co-authors on your NEDA physics publication.

The setup of the acceptance form and the notification to the NEDA Core Authors of its availability and deadline is taken care of by the administrators of this website.

Information for NEDA Core Authors

When there is a NEDA physics that will be passed through the NEDA core author procedure, all persons in the relevant NEDA core author list will receive an email with instructions explaining how to sign up to become a co-author on the publication.

Confidentiality agreement. It is very important that all information in a NEDA publication manuscript, which is submitted through the NEDA core author procedure on this website, is kept confidential until the manuscript has been accepted for publication. This means that the persons on the NEDA core author list are not allowed to distribute the manuscript or to give any information in it to other persons than to the co-authors whose names are given on the manuscript. Before a manuscript can be downloaded from this website, the core author must accept such a confidentiality agreement.

Note that if there is a change in the affiliation, present address, email address, etc. of a core author, she/he should login to the website and change the information there. When logged in, click on My Account, then on the Edit tab and change the relevant information on the Account and/or Core Author Data pages. In case of problems regarding this, please contact the webmaster of this website (see Links below).

Policy for NEDA conference proceedings

Articles to be published as NEDA conference proceedings that include results (scientific and/or technical) obtained with NEDA should follow normal authorship courtesy. The chair of the NEDA management board should be informed about the publication at the time when it is published.

Policy for NEDA technical publications

A NEDA technical publication is a peer-reviewed article that describes or is based on technical developments of NEDA. Prior to submission for publication, manuscripts for NEDA technical publications should be sent to István Kuti who will send them to the members of the NEDA Management Board for a check that they are scientifically sound.
