Publications & Presentation Questions

Does the CLSA need to review my publications and presentations?

Final drafts of all manuscripts, reports, reviews, pre-prints and other proposed primary publications describing research using CLSA data and/or biospecimens must be sent to the CLSA, by the Primary Applicant, for review at least 15 working days prior to the anticipated submission. Abstracts, Posters and Presentations do not need to be submitted for review but should include appropriate Acknowledgements. Please review our Publication and Promotion Policy for CLSA Data Users for additional information.

Please submit all publications for review to access@clsa-elcv.ca.

Can I publish multiple peer-reviewed manuscripts based on my approved CLSA project?

As a publicly funded research platform, the CLSA encourages the dissemination of research findings from approved projects. The CLSA expects users to publish their findings in peer-reviewed journals. Multiple publications may be prepared based on a single approved project as long as the publications are directly linked to the objectives of the approved project.

Where do I find CLSA’s data availability statement?

Please consult Section 2.5 of our Publication and Promotion Policy for CLSA Data Users for our data availability statement.

How do I reference a questionnaire or module from the CLSA, if I use it in my own research?

All questionnaires and modules made available on our website must be referenced as appropriate. Please refer to the Publication and Promotion Policy for CLSA Data Users for the sources and associated Conditions of Use of the questionnaires used in the CLSA, and to section 2.7 of the Policy to know how to cite a questionnaire that has been modified by the CLSA.
