Affiliation

UAB recommendations for the standardised author signature

Recommendations to UAB authors for the correct signature and affiliation of their research output 

  • Authors should always include the institutional affiliation. The Code of Good Practice in Research (Agreement of the Governing Council: 30 September 2020) states that: “All researchers must clearly state their affiliation to the UAB in their papers. This is also the case when a researcher is assigned to other research structures (institutes, observatories, etc.). Researchers’ affiliation to the UAB and standardised signature must comply with instructions from the vice-rector responsible for research matters”.


General recommendations

  • Authors must choose a unique name from among the possible variants
  • Affiliation must follow the following order: Name of department, centre or institute (full name in the original language), institution to which it depends (university), postal address, city, and country (recommended in English).
  • In the case of multiple affiliation, all the institutional affiliations linked to the author must be stated.
  • In the case of mixed centres that depend on several institutions, it is advisable to specify the name of the centre and the institutions on which it depends. Find out about specific recommendations from your centre.
