What to list as your institution for publication

[db2290]

Hi all,

I was just wondering what the protocol was for publishing a paper that was borne from a project at a previous institution (in my case, my Masters thesis) when you have moved to a new university (in my case, for a Ph.D)? Do I list my old or current institution under my affiliation.

Thanks in advance!

Generally people list their former institution and add a footnote with their current institution.

I assume the work/research was done at your former institution, so that is what you should list. Then, add a footnote stating "Corresponding author at:" with your new affiliation.

Some journals actually specify how this should be done. Typically, in my field, people list their current institution and list the one where they did the research in the acknowledgments.

This. If you put your former institution, it will look as though you are still there. In most history journals, you list your current school even if the research was begun somewhere else and then you could mention something like "This article is derived from research begun at xxxxx University." In my field, your current affiliation is always the primary affiliation listed for a publication.
