don't forget your experimental report!

Dear Colleague,

as the proposal deadline is approaching, we remind you our new rules for the experimental reports:

• experimental reports should be mandatory for ALL experiments, not just for continuation experiments;

• all users must provide an experimental report within 6 months from the date of the experiment. A reminder to do so will be automatically sent out 6 weeks before the 6 months deadline. As a first stage, this report should contain essential and concise information, including brief details of what measurements were made on what samples, and if possible a preliminary indication of the outcome; much of the factual content of the report will be automatically transferred from the proposal, avoiding duplication of work. The experimental reports can be subject to short-term confidentiality of results (by ticking a box), and visible only to members of the relevant subcommittees. The reports can be updated and modified at any time during the 12 months after the experiment, if desired, and the new version will replace the old one.
• after 12 months from the date of the experiment, the report becomes public and not modifiable. Before this deadline, users will therefore have the opportunity to modify their report and provide a more complete, analytical and factual account – or refer to any publication that has arisen from the experiment. A reminder of the second deadline will be automatically sent out 6 weeks before the 12 months have elapsed.
• For continuation proposals, a report must in any case be submitted by the proposal deadline .
