Recommended guidelines for data use and publication:

Although journal paper authorship and acknowledgement is the domain of the senior author and no policy is universally applicable, the contributors ask that every practical attempt be made to honor the following general guidelines.

Using Sky spectral luminance measurements database:
Please consult with the PI of the data to be used.

Publishing a 'few' measurements:
Please consider authorship for the PI and/or the following acknowledgement:

We thank the (Project/PI) for its effort in establishing and maintaining the Sky spectral luminance measurements database.

Publishing 'many' measurements:
A general acknowledgement is typically sufficient and may read:

We thank the (PI investigator) and technical staff for establishing and maintaining the Sky spectral luminance measurements database used in this investigation.

However if the Sky spectral luminance measurements database is a principal component of the paper then co-authorship to PI should be offered.
