(GSFC-61A0)" Subject: Update of ILRS citation and use in publications. Author: F. Lemoine Dear Colleagues. We would like to remind you to that it is important that you acknowledge t= he ILRS in your papers and presentations that rely on SLR data or products = and results. Please reference the following citation, Pearlman et al. (2019): Pearlman M.R., Noll C.E., Pavlis E.C., Lemoine F.G., Combrink L., Degnan J.= D., Kirchner G., Schreiber U. (2019). "The ILRS: approaching 20 years and p= lanning for the future", J. Geodesy, 93, 2161-2180, DOI:10.1007/s00190-019-= 01241-1 The Pearlman et al. (2019) reference given above is an update of the earlie= r citation (Pearlman et al. (2002)). Please make sure to use this *new* citation in yo= ur papers and communications. We noticed that some published papers in 2020 still used the older citation. Also, as a point of interest, the Pearlman et al. (2019) is part of a speci= al issue on Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) in the Journal of Geodesy. We encourage you to review the other papers in t= hat special issue, if you have not=20 already done so. Also, if possible, please include SLR as a keyword in your papers if you u= se SLR data or products. The SLR community relies on these acknowledgements= and references to strengthen its requests for continued support from its f= unding organizations. The ILRS Central Bureau asks that you provide a link = to and/or bibliographic reference of any SLR/LLR-related papers. Please su= bmit additional citation information by contacting the ILRS Central Bureau.= (ilrs-cb@lists.nasa.gov). Thank you for your assistance and consideration. Please continue to stay safe during this Covid-19 pandemic.
