For current manuscripts using data collected by CKiD, the lead author is responsible for including the Publication Acknowledgment and a supplemental document with a list of the site principal investigators for all manuscripts. The supplemental document can be downloaded as a Word document and may be formatted for the journal.

Publication Acknowledgment

All publications and presentations of studies utilizing samples or data supplied by CKiD must include the following acknowledgement:

NIH Public Access Policy

Investigators are required to ensure that any publication that uses CKiD data or samples has a PubMed Central Reference Number (PMCID) assigned to it. The PMCID is a unique reference number that is distinct from the PMID number assigned in PubMed. Some journals will submit manuscripts on behalf of authors to be deposited in PubMed Central (see list here).

It is the responsibility of the lead author to submit published manuscript to the NIHMS system to obtain a PMCID if the journal does not submit manuscripts directly.  Please contact KIDMAC with any questions about this process.
