For Authors

(Last updated March 26, 2025)

For members writing manuscripts, please make sure to include coauthors to represent each of the studies and centers included in your project.  The grant acknowledgement information is also provided by study in the table below.  Once you have compiled your coauthor list, please send it to Amy (amy.lee@utah.edu) and Mia ( mhashibe@g.ucla.edu), so that we can double check the list and also let you know how to order the interior coauthors. Thanks!

PubMed Central Manuscript Deposition *****REQUIRED FOR ALL INHANCE MANUSCRIPTS*****
Each INHANCE manuscript is REQUIRED to be deposited in the PubMed Central System (PMC) since the INHANCE analyses projects are funded by the US NIH.

  •  
    • Even if the first or corresponding author is not funded by the NIH, the manuscript needs to be deposited to PMC.
    • Most journals have an option upon submission/acceptance where they will deposit the manuscript to PMC for you. Some journals will not release the manuscript to PMC until 12 months have passed - this is fine.
    • If you do not check the option for the journal to deposit on your behalf, you (First and corresponding authors) will be responsible for depositing the accepted version of the manuscript into the NIH Manuscript Submission System ( http://www.nihms.nih.gov/).
    • If you do not deposit to PMC, it will inconvenience the NIH funded INHANCE members, since the NIH is actively checking on deposition and will HOLD

GRANT AWARDS if manuscript deposition is not complete.
* Please make sure to list/attribute the two data pooling grants NCI R03CA113157 and NIDCR R03DE016611 within the PMC system.
