CERN-TH Preprint Numbers and Affiliation

Who Can Use the CERN-TH Affiliation?

If you hold a CERN-TH contract as a:

  • Staff member
  • Fellow
  • Scientific Associate
  • Emeritus

you may use the following affiliation for publications describing research carried out entirely, or predominantly, at CERN:

” Theoretical Physics Department, CERN, 1211 Geneva 23, Switzerland “

Requesting a CERN-TH Preprint Number

All articles authored by CERN-TH Staff, Fellows, Scientific Associates, or Emeriti should be assigned a CERN-TH preprint number.

A preprint number can be requested through the online application form. If you encounter any difficulties, please contact the TH Preprint Administrator.

Before You Apply

Request a preprint number only when your manuscript is close to completion.

Include the assigned CERN-TH preprint number on the first page of the paper before submission.

Long-Term Visitors

In exceptional cases, long-term visitors may be granted a CERN-TH affiliation and/or preprint number, provided that a substantial part of the research was carried out at CERN.

Requests of this kind should be addressed directly to the TH Preprint Administrator.

Editorial Guidance

TH Staff members are always available to discuss the scientific content or presentation of a manuscript. However, formal approval from the department is not required before publication.

All CERN-TH preprints are expected to be written in clear, high-quality English using British spelling.

Open Access and Publication Charges

The Theoretical Physics Department does not provide funding for publication or reprint charges.

However, CERN has agreements with many journals that allow CERN-affiliated articles to be published as open access. Authors are encouraged to check the applicable journal policies before submission.

Acknowledgements

Authors wishing to acknowledge support from the department may use or adapt the following wording:
