Spruit" <henk@MPA-Garching.MPG.DE> To: Daisaku Nogami <nogami@kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp> Subject: Re: citing VSNET data Dear Mr. Nogami: OK, I understand then that an acknowledgement in the acknowledgement section of the paper, mentioning Mr. Kato and the observers involved, will do. Since the data are so nicely accessible, however, I think you may also want to create a procedure by which authors of journal papers can cite these results in their reference section. This will enhance the visibility of your network. For example, create a nominal author `Vsnet', so that people could cite for example Vsnet, X.X., 1996, VSNET web site http://..../LCs/EXDra or something like this. This is a thing in which VSnet has to set the rules so a clear procedure is established that can be communicated to the astronomers. Yours, Henk Spruit
