The ASPIICS instrument follows an open data policy which means that you can freely use the data. Nevertheless we list here a few recommendations on good practices.
- A reference to the ASPIICS instrument paper must be mentioned, as well as an explicit mention of the versions of the used data and calibration software.
- Publications using the ASPIICS data must include the following acknowledgement: “ASPIICS data are courtesy of Proba-3/ASPIICS. Proba-3 is a technology demonstration mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) and a Mission of Opportunity in the ESA Science Programme.”
- For bibliographical reasons, it is requested to mention ‘Proba-3’ and ‘ASPIICS’ in the abstract. This is to strengthen future database searches.
- Finally, it is suggested to external data users to involve an ASPIICS co-I in their analysis team and as co-author. This will optimise the communication of the latest instrument expertise to the external data users and allow to coordinate between different analysis teams.
