Need to acknowledge data from DSS in a publication, grant application, or another place?

NIAGADS offers a tool to make it easier to generate the text needed to acknowledge the dataset(s) or study/studies used in your research.

### **How Does it Work?**

- Enter study (e.g. sa000001) or dataset (e.g.ng00067) accession number(s) into the search bar below. NOTE: a sampleset (e.g. snd10000) or fileset accession (e.g. fsa000002) will not return results.
- If searching for more than on accession number, separate accession numbers using commas.
- Click “Generate text” or press enter.
- A full acknowledgement statement for the accession number(s) you entered appears below! NOTE: read through the statement provided to ensure all content is relevant to your analysis. Some study acknowledgments are specific to datasets.

### **Acknowledgment Examples**

**Example 1**: In their analysis, a researcher used all participants from the ADSP Umbrella dataset ([ng00067](https://dss.niagads.org/datasets/ng00067/)
) made up of [many studies](https://dss.niagads.org/datasets/ng00067/#studies)
 and the KnightADRC GWAS ([ng00127](https://dss.niagads.org/datasets/ng00127/)
) dataset consisting off [one study](https://dss.niagads.org/studies/sa000008/)
. The resulting acknowledgment was generated by entering the two dataset accession numbers into this tool (ng00067, ng00127).  
  
**Example 2**: In their analysis, a researcher used a subset of participants from the ADSP Umbrella dataset ([ng00067](https://dss.niagads.org/datasets/ng00067/)
) made up of [many studies](https://dss.niagads.org/datasets/ng00067/#studies)
 and the KnightADRC GWAS ([ng00127](https://dss.niagads.org/datasets/ng00127/)
) dataset consisting of [one study](https://dss.niagads.org/studies/sa000008/)
. The resulting acknowledgment was generated by entering the four ADSP study accession numbers associated with the samples used and the KnightADRC GWAS dataset accession number (ADSP: sa000001, sa000002, sa000004, and sa000008 & KnightADRC: ng00127) into this tool (sa000001, sa000002, sa000004, sa000008, ng00127).
