Preprints, Reprints, & Dissertations

$Preprints: NRAO requests that you submit the astro-ph link or an electronic copy of any accepted papers that include observations taken with any NRAO instrument or have NRAO author(s) to the Observatory Librarian. For further information, contact the Librarian in Charlottesville (library@nrao.edu).$

Reprints: $Given the prevalence of electronic access to the literature, NRAO will no longer pay for the purchase of reprints of published papers.$

$Dissertations:$ $Students whose dissertations include observations made with NRAO instruments are expected to provide copies of, or links to, their thesis for inclusion and maintenance at the NRAO library. These will be cataloged and made available via the NRAO library catalog.$

The National Radio Astronomy Observatory and Green Bank Observatory are facilities of the U.S. National Science Foundation operated under cooperative agreement by Associated Universities, Inc.

Founded in 1956, the NRAO provides state-of-the-art radio telescope facilities for use by the international scientific community. NRAO telescopes are open to all astronomers regardless of institutional or national affiliation. Observing time on NRAO telescopes is available on a competitive basis to qualified scientists after evaluation of research proposals on the basis of scientific merit, the capability of the instruments to do the work, and the availability of the telescope during the requested time. NRAO also provides both formal and informal programs in education and public outreach for teachers, students, the general public, and the media.
