Code of Conduct – A fundamental ethic of the ANF-RCN will be to promote a safe, welcoming, and productive environment for all participants regardless of gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, race, ethnicity, religion, disability, physical appearance, or career level. All LT members and participants are expected to adhere to strict behavioral policies. Unacceptable behavior includes, but is not limited to, any form of harassment, bullying, or discrimination directed at any other person or the intentional disruption of meeting activities. Anyone requested to stop unacceptable behavior is expected to comply immediately or faces removal from the meeting and prohibited attendance from future events. Specifically, we will follow the code of conduct developed by AGU.
Co-authorship guidelines – An important goal of the ANF-RCN is to develop written products that synthesize a new paradigm for aquatic N2-fixation research. Thus, we expect a number of conceptual and technical papers will arise from RCN activities. We will strive to be inclusive with co-authorship. However, co-authorship comes with the responsibility to contribute intellectually to the development of a product. A co-author is any person who has made a significant contribution to a journal article. As a general rule of thumb, to be considered for authorship you need to substantially contribute to more than one of the following:
