	ARAS Spectral Database: Submitting and using spectra
		ARAS Spectral Database:
		http://www.astrosurf.com/aras/Aras_DataBase/DataBase.htm
	The ARAS Spectral Database is the result of the commitment of many observers who voluntarily make a substantial investment of their time and money to carefully acquire, process and share their spectra.
	Submitting data to the database
	While a basic validation check of submitted spectra is carried out prior to adding them to the database, it is primarily the responsibility of those submitting data to verify the quality of their spectra.
	Detailed instructions on how to process and submit spectra to the database are given here:
	Link to instructions (in construction)
	Conditions for use of the data are described below. By submitting data to the database, observers acknowledge and accept these conditions of use. Ownership of data in the database remains with the observer.
	Conditions for use of data from the database
	This is an open database and in order that we can maintain this status, we expect those who make use of spectra from the database to abide by the following conditions:

		3. The names of observers whose spectra are used in the analysis must be included in the Acknowledgements section of the publication.
		4. If the publication includes, or is linked to, a table of observations, it is strongly encouraged that this should include the names of the observers.
		5. It is the responsibility of the lead author to consider including observers as co-authors if they believe their observations have made a substantial contribution to the analysis.
		6. Authors are strongly recommended to inform the ARAS Team via the following email address prior to any publication using spectra from the database
