Giving credit
If the infrastructure helped your work, please acknowledge it. Whatever sentence you use, keep one string intact — the full name with the abbreviation: “Digital Humanities Infrastructure Austria (DHinfra)”.
Depending on what you used, for example:
| Use | Suggested wording |
|---|---|
| GPU & LLM cluster | The computational results have been achieved using the Digital Humanities Infrastructure Austria (DHinfra). |
| Digitization & imaging | The digitization was carried out using the Digital Humanities Infrastructure Austria (DHinfra). |
| SaaS / IaaS & storage | This work was supported by services of the Digital Humanities Infrastructure Austria (DHinfra). |
| Mixed or unsure | This work was carried out using the Digital Humanities Infrastructure Austria (DHinfra). |
If the infrastructure covered only part of the work, add “in part” — e.g. “achieved in part using the Digital Humanities Infrastructure Austria (DHinfra)”.
This is not just for papers: please add the same acknowledgement to datasets, models and code you publish (for example on Zenodo or Hugging Face).
Citing the GPU & LLM cluster
If you used the GPU systems, we ask that you additionally cite the cluster. The paper describing the design and operation of the federated GPU cluster (presented at ASHPC26, Vienna, April 2026) is being prepared for arXiv; a citable reference with a DOI will be linked here as soon as it is available.
Collaboration & support
When we collaborate, it often makes sense to budget for HPC / MLOps support within a project. In our own work, and as we see at other universities and in industry, this is an efficient way to accelerate research. We frequently provide code support anyway, so some form of collaboration usually exists already.
Where contributions are substantial, this can also be arranged so that the admins involved are credited as co-authors on the resulting output. That keeps our work visible — which matters both to us and to funding agencies. Where someone from DHinfra joins the author team, a contribution taxonomy such as CRediT is a simple way to make each person's role explicit.
