Manuscript Preparation and Publication
This page covers the following links available on the homepage of the N3C Enclave.
Prepare your Results
You can only export datasets and reports from the enclave for public dissemination, as long as your datasets and reports are summarized, non-identifiable results.
If you'd like to export a table from a Contour Analysis, you can convert that into a Dataset by clicking "Save As Dataset".
For other results (e.g. plots/figures, text/write-ups), they should be all added to a notepad. Make sure the notepad does not include any sensitive information. The count of patients for each bucket should be at least 20, to reduce the risk of re-identification.

Download Review Request
The Download Committee, who works in tandem with the Publication Committee, must review and approve data used for tables, figures, and other reporting in your publication as defined in the N3C Results Download Policy.
Fill out a Download Request Form inside the N3C Data Enclave and allow 48 business day hours for approval.
The Publication Committee cannot release your publication until all data downloads have been first reviewed and approved by the Download Committee.
Download Dashboard
Track the timeline of your download requests and response to reviewer comments.
During this whole review process, the content of your Report or Dataset will be frozen until the review is complete. In other words:
The results/data in your Report/Dataset will not update even if the underlying data or logic updates.
Consequently, if you want to download an updated Report or Dataset, you might have to submit another request via the Download Review Request Form.
Publication Intent Form
From your Home page, access the N3C Publication Intent form to inform the N3C Committee of your intent to publish.
Please notify the N3C Publications Committee of any manuscripts in progress, as well as when manuscripts are submitted or accepted to journals.
A manuscript draft must be made available along with the submission of the Publication Intent Form in order for the Publication Committee to perform the review.
Submit a draft to the Committee at least 2+ weeks before the journal submission deadline to allow for ample review time.
You can also email a Word/PDF version of your manuscript draft to n3c.pubs@gmail.com or provide a Google doc link with shared permission for Publication Committee reviewers.
N3C Contributors Form
After submitting a Publication Intent Form, all contributors must fill out the N3C Contributors Form for the manuscript to clarify the nature of their contributions together with the contributor affiliations, ORCiD, funding acknowledgments, and conflicts of interest.
COVID Publications
The COVID Publications tab is where you can browse publications produced by N3C research teams.
