How to cite the Comparative Genomic Analysis of Cardiovascular Gene Regulation, National Heart, Lung and Blood (NHLBI), Program for Genomic Applications (PGA) Web accessible material.

Citation Policy Origin

This citation policy was discussed at the PGA-CC meeting in Berkeley California in January 2001. The PGA-CC decided that PGA names would be used instead of institutional names because several PGAs are cross-institutional collaborations.

The examples below show the essential elements of a citation: the name of the document, file, display, or other information obtained from a Web Site, the PGA shorthand name, the NHLBI program name, the URL, and a timestamp.

To cite non-peer reviewed PGA publications

To cite technical documents etc. retrieved from a PGA's ftp site, use a format similar to:

Heart C.V, et al. Cardiovascular Gene Regulation and You. Comparative Genomic Analysis of Cardiovascular Gene Regulation PGA, NHLBI Program for Genomic Applications. URL: http://pga.lbl.gov/CGRaY.html, [date (month, year) accessed].

To cite specific PGA projects at this site

Use a format similar to the following example:

Project name. Comparative Genomic Analysis of Cardiovascular Gene Regulation PGA, NHLBI Program for Genomic Applications. URL: http://pga.lbl.gov, [date (month, yr) accessed].

Cardiovascular Comparative Genomic Database (CVCGD). Comparative Genomic Analysis of Cardiovascular Gene Regulation PGA, NHLBI Program for Genomic Applications. URL: http://pga.lbl.gov, [date (month, year) accessed].

To cite PGA files associated with a publication and downloaded by ftp from this site

Use a format similar to the following example:

Heart, C.V. Heart Diagram, (2001). Comparative Genomic Analysis of Cardiovascular Gene Regulation PGA, NHLBI Program for Genomic Applications. URL: ftp://pga.lbl.gov/diagrams/Heart.jpg, [date (month, year) accessed].
