How to refer to Chimera in a Newsletter
Hello... I am writing a newsletter for the SER-CAT synchrotron beamlines sector 22 at APS - the newsletter is called the "SER-CAT Spectrum" and is distributed primarily to beamline users. I have included a simple protein drawing produced by CHIMERA and indicated that the drawing was produced by CHIMERA. Should I include a trademark symbol or perhaps a copyright symbol after the name? Thanks for any advice. Best, Gary Newton University of Georgia Athens, GA
Hi Gary, No symbol is needed -- here is our standard info on how to cite UCSF Chimera: <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/credits.html> However, there is some wiggle room depending on how figure credits are usually done in your newsletter. The page above suggests an acknowledgement, literature citation, and URL, but if there is no provision for literature citations in your newsletter's figure credits, for example, you could just use the statement and possibly the URL. Thanks for using Chimera! Elaine ----- Elaine C.

For a professional society publication such as this, it's fine to just indicate the image was produced by Chimera, without trademark or copyright symbol. It would be great if you could include the URL for our Chimera web site (www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/) so that if someone wanted to follow-up and learn more, they'd have a place to go.
