Citing LungMAP Datasets/Apps
We strongly encourage users of the LungMAP.net website to cite the LungMAP Team that generated the data being used (and relevant publications by LungMAP investigators) in work resulting from the use of LungMAP datasets (where applicable). Note, that copyrights to data and images on the LungMAP site is held by the individual investigators and research centers that contributed them.
Please also acknowledge that you obtained the dataset from the LungMAP database (www.lungmap.net) along with the date downloaded, the LM ID (indicated in the URL or on the page) and the grant number: U24-HL148865.
The following is an example citation:
The results here are in whole or part based upon data generated by the LungMAP Consortium and downloaded from (www.lungmap.net), on September 28, 2023.
