Former rule:
IMAGE has an "open access" policy, i.e. the final magnetometer data are freely available for scientific use. However, we would like the users to take into account the following viewpoint: The institutes maintaining the network have allocated a considerable amount of resources to provide high-quality data. Therefore we kindly ask the data users in case of a substantial use to consider to offer a co-authorship to such IMAGE team members who may have a potential interest in the study. This shall not restrict the research area nor delay the publication process, but promote fruitful scientific co-operation. Producing magnetograms or similar simple plots or describing qualitative features of data is not considered as a substantial use.
