Center's users and beneficiaries are required to acknowledge Center support in several ways, depending on the resources used:

  1. When using the Center's compute power and/or expertise, and/or Center software for their research/training/other, users are expected to include the following statement in their resulting work:

    "This work was supported by the Theoretical and Computational Biophysics group, NIH Center for Macromolecular Modeling and Bioinformatics, at the Beckman Institute, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign."

    If the work is made available online users and beneficiaries are expected to make a link to the Center web site (http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/)

  2. When using images produced and owned by the Center, users and beneficiaries are required to include in their resulting work (publication, presentation, etc.) the following statement:

    "This image was made with VMD and is owned by the Theoretical and Computational Biophysics Group, NIH Center for Macromolecular Modeling and Bioinformatics, at the Beckman Institute, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign."

    If the image was published in a Center publication, you are required to get a permission from the Center, from the publisher and to reference the relevant paper.

    If your publication is made available online you are expected to make the following links to our web site:

    • required link to the original image on our site
    • if the image was published in a Center publication, required link to the relevant paper
    • optional link to http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/
  3. When using images produced with Center software (VMD, NAMD, BioCoRE, JMV, other), users and beneficiaries are required to include in their resulting work (publication, presentation, etc.) the following statement:

    "This image was made with VMD/NAMD/BioCoRE/JMV/other software support. VMD/NAMD/BioCoRE/JMV/ is developed with NIH support by the Theoretical and Computational Biophysics group at the Beckman Institute, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign."

    If the image was published in a Center publication, you are required to get a permission from the Center, from the publisher and to reference the relevant paper.

    If the publication is made available online you are expected to make the following links to our web site:

    • required link to the original image on our site
    • required link to VMD/NAMD/other relevant Center software pages
    • if the image was published in a Center publication, required link to the relevant paper
    • optional link to http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/

To confirm the above or for further details and clarifications, please email the Center staff at webserver@ks.uiuc.edu.

Thank you for using our resources and services.
