# Acknowledgment

Please acknowledge in your publications the role the Experimental Computing Laboratory (ExCL) facility played in your research. Alerting us when a paper is accepted is also appreciated.

Sample acknowledgment:

> This research used resources of the Experimental Computing Laboratory (ExCL) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which is supported by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract No. DE-AC05-00OR22725

You may use any variation on this theme, calling out specific simulations or portions of the research that used ExCL resources, or citing specific resources used.

However, the crucial elements to include are:

* The spelled out center name (it's okay to include the acronym, too): Experimental Computing Laboratory (ExCL)
* Office of Science and U.S. Department of Energy
* Contract No. DE-AC05-00OR22725

Additionally, when you add the paper to Resolution, please add “Experimental Computing Laboratory” to Research Centers and Institutes under Funding and Facilities as show in this image.

We appreciate your conscientiousness in this matter. Acknowledgment and pre-publication notification helps ExCL communicate the importance of its role in science to our sponsors and stakeholders, helping assure the continued availability of this valuable resource.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.excl.ornl.gov/acknowledgment.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
