Full Collaboration Papers
Past papers:
- A list of all full collaboration publications is available at: LSC publication list (publicly accessible)
- A list of those papers which have been circulated at least once internally within the collaboration is available at: pre-publication tracking (access restricted to LSC and Virgo members)
- A list of all papers which have been written for the LSC is available at LSC conference proceedings.
For lead authors
See
procedures for required steps for all publications. If anything is unclear, then please consult the PnP committee. Below are some useful links to help in the process:
- Author lists. Note that the correct LSC author list is the most recent list when the paper is first circulated to the LSC. If you are unsure which author list to consult, please contact PnP.
- Recent LSC author lists:
- Recent LSC-Virgo joint author lists
- LSC acknowledgment statement (tex format):
- LSC-Virgo acknowledgment statement (tex format):
- Requirement for "outreach abstract" to accompany LSC-authored papers (after Sep2011). Initial guidance from EPO Committee
- Posting on arXiv: In order for all authors of collaboration papers to be searchable in arXiv, it is important to follow a modified procedure when creating the arXiv entry. For collaboration papers, arXiv entries should also include a link to the paper's public DCC page.
For collaboration members
- Authors can opt out of the author list for a particular publication (details are in >M060334. No reason need be specified. To do so, send email to lsc-author-opt-out at ligo.org
Short author list papers
As outlined in the collaboration policies linked above, short author list
technical papers related to LSC work should be circulated to the collaboration
prior to being circulated publicly or being submitted for publication.
Detailed requirements are given in M060334. Papers are also
reviewed internally.
For authors
If you have a paper that you wish to submit for review (or are unsure if you
need to submit for review), please follow the submission guidelines.

Open Data
- The LIGO S5 data is now openly available at the LOSC website. This data was make available in September 2014. Section 2.8 of Attachment A, state that for 1 year after data is made open, collaboration members must still abide by the standard rules for collaboration open data.
- The following data have been declared "collaboration open data" for short-authorlist technical papers: S2-S6,VSR1-3 (updated Oct2013).
- All engineering run data from the advanced detectors is collaboration open data, once analyses have been completed. At present, this is all data up to and including ER6
- If you do use collaboration open data, please provide an acknowledgement to the LSC for use of LIGO data.
- Section 2.7 of Attachment A for meaning of collaboration open data and terms of use.

For reviewers
If you have been asked to review a paper, please see the reviewer guidelines.
For all
- Papers that are under review and have been reviewed in the past are available at here.
- Papers that were reviewed prior to the new web based tool are available in the Review(ers) database.
