Please kindly inform in writing (or e-mail) the NBCD Team of how you are using the data and of any publication plans. If not yet published, please reference the source of the data, as a citation and in the acknowledgments (See below for dataset citation). The NBCD Team will tell you if they feel they should be acknowledged or offered participation as authors. We assume that an agreement on such matters will be reached before publishing and/or use of the data for publication.
