Acknowledgement of the Data Science Core
When should the Data Science Core be cited?
If your published or presented work has benefited from any form of support provided by the Data Science Core—whether through consultations, direct assistance, or use of its infrastructure—you are required to acknowledge this support from the NIH.
Why is it important to cite NIH funding for the Data Science Core?
Each year, the NH-INBRE and CIBBR programs submit progress reports to NIGMS. These reports play a critical role in justifying continued support for the IDeA program. Publications that acknowledge NIGMS funding demonstrate that its resources are effectively advancing research relevant to human health and disease. A strong record of cited publications enhances the visibility of the DSC, NH-INBRE, and CIBBR, positioning them for future success in securing additional funding from the IDeA program. Moreover, citing NIH-funded research highlights the essential contributions of biomedical research to the community and its impact on human health.
How to Cite the Data Science Core
The Data Science Core is funded by two distinct NIH grants. All users must cite these funding sources in their publications or presentations. The correct citation text is provided below for your convenience:
“This publication was supported by the NH-INBRE program and the Center for Integrated Biomedical and Bioengineering Research (CIBBR) through grants from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences of the National Institutes of Health under Award Numbers P20GM103506 and P20GM113131, respectively.”
Failure to properly cite the DSC may result in the publication of an erratum.
Other Policies:
Co-authorship
If personnel from the Data Science Core have significantly contributed to your research or participated in a collaborative project, it is appropriate to include them as co-authors. Please refer to the guidelines provided by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) on authorship roles:
ICMJE Authorship Guidelines.
Data Retention and Storage
The Data Science Core retains investigator data for one year after the project completion date. Following that year, data will be archived for an additional three years. After the three-year archival period, all data will be removed from servers.
It is the investigator's responsibility to ensure that their data is stored according to the requirements of their funding sources (e.g., three years for NIH and NSF grants). This includes complying with the Data Management and Sharing plan, with a goal of submitting data to a permanent, searchable archive that meets the FAIR principles of data science.
Subsidy for Data Science Core Support, Fee Waivers and Voucher Programs
CIBBR, NH-INBRE, and EPSCoR (NH-LIFT) offer fee waivers and vouchers to assist in generating and analyzing preliminary data.
NH-INBRE and NH-LIFT partner institutions, including Colby Sawyer College, Dartmouth Medical School, Franklin Pierce University, Great Bay Community College, Keene State College, New England College, Plymouth State University, River Valley Community College, Saint Anselm College, and the University of New Hampshire, are eligible for most subsidies. Additionally, researchers from other northeastern states participating in the NIH IDeA Program (Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Delaware) are also welcome to apply for these subsidies.
