Citing TPC Consortium in Publications and Presentations

The TPC asks that authors acknowledge the TPC Consortium in their publications and presentations when utilizing any data from the TPC’s open-access data repositories. Examples of acknowledgement statements are:

“The findings published/shown here are in whole/part derived from data generated by the Tumor Profiler Consortium:  https://tumorprofilercenter.ch.”

“Results based on data generated by the Tumor Profiler Consortium: https://tumorprofilercenter.ch.”

“Data utilized in this study were sourced from the Tumor Profiler Consortium: https://tumorprofilercenter.ch.”

While the citation of the original TuPro marker publications that contributed the data used is not mandatory, authors are encouraged to recognize the contribution of the respective specimen donors and research groups to uphold the integrity of scientific research.

Furthermore, the TPC Consortium requests that journal editors, reviewers, and conference organizers verify the inclusion of proper acknowledgements for the TPC Consortium in submitted works.

Variations in Data

Please note, when comparing individual data sets to aggregated data, variations in data points may occur. Aggregated data reflects trends from larger samples, which can mask individual differences. In contrast, individual data sets capture unique data points. Therefore, comparisons between these types of data should account for the potential variation in values based on the type of data being examined.
