Affiliation refers to the author's organization where the research is mainly conducted. Researcher can have several affiliations in one publication. Tampere University or, correspondingly, Tampere University of Applied Sciences is listed as the affiliation when the publication is based on research or expert work conducted at the organization.
Publications are attributed to the institution where most of the underlying research work was conducted, even if the researcher has moved to another organization before the publication is published. Connection to the higher education institution is noted primarily based on the affiliation information the author provides in the publication.
Affiliation details should be marked in publications as consistently and comprehensively as possible. This ensures that publications are correctly attributed to the right organization and individual, for example, in publication data collection and research evaluation. The chosen affiliation is also significant if the corresponding author wishes to publish their article openly using the library's agreements with scientific publishers for open access (OA). Researchers using two or more affiliations should note that many publishers offer the corresponding author the opportunity to utilize OA agreements based on the first mentioned affiliation and do not consider other affiliations listed for the corresponding author.
It is a good idea to use the official full names of organizations and their units. Check the correctness of the names and avoid using abbreviations. The official full names of both the unit and the university should be included in the affiliation, simply mentioning the other may not be enough.
Checklist:
Examples:
Researchers affiliated with both the Faculty of Medicine and Health Technology and The Wellbeing Services County of Pirkanmaa should include both affiliations in their publications. For more information, see: MET affiliation instructions (intra).
