We introduced an authorship and acknowledgments policy in Sept 2020 for research using Genes & Health. Latest update 19 Mar 2024:
Publications must:
- Include named co-authors making a major contribution, if appropriate. The Genes & Health Executive will provide advice.
- Include 'Genes & Health Research Team' as a consortium author, in most instances.
- Include an Acknowledgment/Funding Statement, always.
