It is important to be aware that there are advantages for both partner institutions in adopting the approved format. Publications with an author affiliation AIMS@JCU can be claimed by JCU and included as publications under the Institutional Grant Scheme (IGS) funding scheme. Therefore AIMS@JCU publications will contribute to earning funds for JCU. Similarly AIMS can note any AIMS@JCU publications as Outputs, for the Federal Funds received, increasing AIMS publications will be a positive contribution to outputs specifically measured by AIMS and reported in the Annual Report.

There is no detrimental impact of adopting the approved format and both partner institutions will benefit from the increase in publications generated by AIMS@JCU research.

Regarding Traditional Owners acknowledgements we ask that you please include:

“I acknowledge the Wulgurukaba and Bindal people as the Traditional Owners of the land the research was conducted on.”

The Wulgurukaba and Bindal people are associated with the AIMS and JCU Townsville sites.

Traditional Owners location(s) needs to be updated to reflect the country where the work was done. Please remember to include research site, office and home (e.g. working from home) locations as relevant.
