Referencing the reserve system

Reserve users are asked to include acknowledge support from the UC Natural Reserve System in publications by citing NRS DOIs. Each reserve has been assigned a unique Digital Object Identifier (DOI). DOIs are widely used in academic publishing to identify content and link that content to its location on the internet. Reserve DOIs link to the NRS webpage for each reserve. 

Why use NRS DOIs?

Including NRS DOIs in the searchable text of publications:

• connects research papers, theses, reports, and other works with reserves
• demonstrates the importance of the NRS in different fields of study
• justifies financial and other support of the NRS by the University and donors

Acknowledgement wording

Publications that have benefited from the use of NRS sites or research assistance can acknowledge NRS support by including the following:
