HOYS Publication Guidelines
All publications using any HOYS data should reference the project description paper (Froebrich et al. 2018, MNRAS, 478, 5091) and the data calibration paper (Evitts et al. 2020, MNRAS, 493, 184). If not all contributors of data are included in the author list, then the following should be added to the acknowledgements of every publication: “We would like to thank all contributors of observational data for their efforts towards the success of the HOYS project.”
We aim to disseminate the results of the science exploitation of the HOYS data with two kinds of publications. These are: i) larger, survey description type publications and ii) smaller, more specific publications.
We plan to write type i) publications about every one to two years. On these publications every participant who contributed data should be added as a co-author (if s/he wishes so), as well as everyone involved in the data analysis.
All other, type ii) publications using any HOYS data should include everyone as a co-author who made a significant contribution to the scientific analysis of the data and the preparation of the publication. Furthermore, any contributor who made a significant contribution to the dataset analysed in the publication should be added as co-author. In other words, anyone whose data cannot be removed without significantly degrading the quality of the analysis should be made a co-author.

LIGHT CURVES
Lightcurve of the week 194
This weeks featured image shows the size of our daily database backups. As you can see, since Monday, despite people adding data, the database has slightly decreased in size. So [...]
Lightcurve of the week 193
This week we look at a plot from a recently submitted HOYS paper. In the paper we determine the properties of star spots on young stellar objects in the Pelican [...]
Lightcurve of the week 192
Winter is coming. We have now uploaded and processed the data from August for many of the Orion Targets. Hence we get our first look at how the objects are [...]
Lightcurve of the week 191
Do people see or read our light curve of the week posts, and do they have any impact? Well, let see. In February our post number 166, looked at the [...]
Lightcurve of the week 190
This week we have a little bit of a look how 'international' our project is. Some of you might know, or even remember, that we originally started out with a [...]
Lightcurve of the week 189
This week we have a look at our basic photometry calibration and try to answer the question "Why does my calibration look weird?" - Which sometimes comes up when someone's [...]
Lightcurve of the week 188
This week we look at one of the plots from the first HOYS paper: "A survey for variable young stars with small telescopes: First results from HOYS-CAPS" - note we [...]
Lightcurve of the week 187
This week we have a look at the number of images we have for each target region. This is shown in the above plot. For each target, listed at the [...]
Lightcurve of the week 186
This week we look at the light curve of the young star BB Ori. It is situated in the L1641N target field, just south of the Orion Nebula (M42). The [...]
Lightcurve of the week 185
We are making good progress on the writing of the next few papers with HOYS data, so this week we have a look back at a plot from an earlier [...]
Lightcurve of the week 184
This week we are looking at the young star LkHa154 in the Pelican Nebula. It is classified as an emission line star. This means, if you take a spectrum you [...]
Lightcurve of the week 183
This week we look at the object V1319Cyg, which is situated in the field around the Berkley 86 open cluster. We show the light curve in V and I in [...]
