Journal of large-scale research facilities JLSRF

The Journal of large-scale research facilities (JLSRF) publishes articles describing large-scale scientific equipment. This covers large-scale equipment from all scientific disciplines that is intended to be used by scientists who are not affiliated to the institution operating the facilities (dedicated user operation). If appropriate, individual subunits of a large-scale research facility, such as the different detectors at a particle accelerator, can also be described separately.

The articles in JLSRF provide scientists with a simple means to reference large-scale facilities in their publications. In their terms of use, operators of large-scale equipment can refer to the respective article in JLSRF.

All articles are published in the name of the operating institution (corporate author) and not by an individual author. This prevents "automatic" personal citations. Contact details for at least one contact for the respective equipment are given in all articles.
