The most recent should be noted, e.g., I think the most recent is a publication by Dow, et al. for a COSPAR meeting in 2004. 2) Peer-reviewed papers for the IGS components, project and working group are requested to be sent to the IGS CB.

Dear colleagues,
Over the past (many) months, a key issue that is being raised is how to cite the use of IGS data and products in publications. This is becoming increasingly important as the IGS  (and IAG Services) contributing organizations need to demonstrate their usefulness for continued funding of their activities in support of science or relevant programs. Discussions taking place in March and April with a number of people identified a way forward described below. Particular thanks to Angie Moore, Pascal Willis, Mike Pearlman, and Chopo Ma for helping to clarify this process.

As GGOS is being established, this is of critical importance, and so all IAG Services are encouraged to adopt a similar strategy.  Coordination with the IAG Information and Outreach Branch is needed, as well as with the GGOS website so that the presentation of the Services, especially to users, is more uniform.  And the final result is that the IAG services will achieve a higher profile in the literature.  Note that Pascal is proceeding along a similar path with the International DORIS Service at this time.  The 'Dynamic Planet'  meeting in Cairns could be a good opportunity to prepare such a paper since these will be peer reviewed and I believe that each (or most) of the services are presenting.

I will ask to place this as a point for discussion at the IAG Executive Committee Meeting in Cairns, but it appears that the concept is generally accepted,

Strategy for Citation of IGS
----------------------------------------------------------------
At the recent IGS GB meeting in Vienna, April 24, 2005, this was discussed by the Board and it was agreed to proceed as follows:

1) A peer-reviewed paper that provides a general description of the IGS is to be identified.  There are a few of these through the past ten years which must  also be collected. The most recent should be noted, e.g., I think the most recent is a publication by Dow, et al. for a COSPAR meeting in 2004. 

2) Peer-reviewed papers for the IGS components, project and working group are requested to be sent to the IGS CB. All GB and Former GB members are asked to assist with this especially by noting any paper that you are aware of or are a co-author on.   These will be collected at a web page for complete listing.  A goal is a complete, updated listing of the peer-reviewed articles stemming from the IGS.

3) The Central Bureau should implement a notice and link of "Suggested References", requesting that people please cite this paper (or whichever is appropriate) in any publication depending on the IGS. 

4) IGS data centers should also provide a similar notice coordinating with the CB.
5) Send an IGSMail to explain this effort, and try to make sure that when reviewing papers, that the citations of the IGS are included.  Encourage any editors to do the same thing.

6) Develop educational tactics like easels/handouts in hallways near geodesy section talks, continuing to remind people to cite sources. (Dynamic Planet is a great opportunity for this!)

If you have any comments or questions, please contact either Angie or me.

And please, send us any citations of any existing peer-reviewed papers.

kind regards  - Ruth
