"Based on observations with ISO, an ESA project with instruments funded by ESA Member States (especially the PI countries: France, Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom) and with the participation of ISAS and NASA."
Should the journal in question not permit footnotes to the title, the above text should appear as a footnote the first time ISO is mentioned.
The preferred references for the ISO mission are:

The "Observations" section (or equivalent) of a paper using ISO data should clearly identify the observations used. This is done uniquely by listing the TDT and AOT for each observation used. TDT is the 8 digit number which you can see in the query results in the ISO Data Archive or in the file names of retrieved observations. AOT is a combination of a three letter code: CAM, LWS, PHT or SWS indicating the instrument (Camera, Long Wavelength Spectrometer, Imaging Photo-Polarimeter and Short Wavelength Spectrometer respectively) and a two digit number indicating the instrument mode. The AOT can be found from query results in the archive or from the retrieved file headers of the data sets related to an observation. Naturally, the authors should include all additional information of the observations which has astronomical relevance in the studied case (e.g. the time the observations were made), but the TDT and AOT should never be omitted in order to give the possibility for the future readers to find the original data.
We keep track of ISO publications in the ISO Data Archive (IDA). We try to be complete in refereed literature while following non-refereed articles on a best effort basis. The literature tracking is not only the reference information, but we try to record all observations used in the publication. When using IDA you can find a button "Articles" next to the selected observations which gives a link to the publication information and ADS entry of the publication. In order to have the literature list as complete as possible and the links to observations correct, we ask your help. If your article has appeared, please submit the reference information with used observations. Note that this Web-page can also be launched from IDA (under menu item "File"). This route provides the advantage that you can use the IDA facilities to select the observations used in the publication as the observation information needed (TDT numbers and instrument modes) are pre-filled for you depending what you have selected in IDA. The same form can also be used to correct publication information (reference information or linked observations). Please note that the submission is not directly active in the database as the actual information ingestion is done by an operator.
