Citing cBioPortal

[pur...@mskcc.org]

Hello,

I am involved in a research project that is using cBioPortal data to identify mutations in lung cancer and brain metastasis. I have two questions/requests:

1. What should we know about citing cBioPortal in our paper?
2. Do you have a list of other papers that have used cBioPortal and cited it?

Thanks!

Best,

Subhanik

Hi Subhanik,

 

We’re glad to hear you found cBioPortal useful and are exploring publication of your results!

 

If you used cBioPortal as part of your project, we ask that you cite our two platform papers.

 

• Cerami et al. The cBio Cancer Genomics Portal: An Open Platform for Exploring Multidimensional Cancer Genomics Data. Cancer Discovery. May 2012 2; 401. PubMed.
• Gao et al. Integrative analysis of complex cancer genomics and clinical profiles using the cBioPortal. Sci. Signal. 6, pl1 (2013). PubMed.

 

Of course, please also remember to also cite the source of the data if you are using a publicly available dataset.

 

We do not actively keep a list of papers that have used cBioPortal, but from identifying papers that cite the two above, you should be able to see what other investigators have found using cBioPortal.

 

If you have any follow-up questions, please Reply All so that our continued conversation is captured on the cBioPortal Google Group. Good luck in your publication proceess!

 

Best,
