How to cite ODC and dataset
Citing the ODCs
Please cite the Open Data Commons in study manuscripts (methods) if you have used the Open Data Commons for SCI or TBI for data collection, management, publication, or download. We recommend the following language:
For ODC-SCI
Study data were deposited at the Open Data Commons for Spinal Cord Injury (ODC-SCI; RRID:SCR_016673). The ODC-SCI is a secure, cloud-based repository platform designed to share research data (Torres-Espin et al., 2022).

Promoting FAIR Data Through Community-driven Agile Design: the Open Data Commons for Spinal Cord Injury (odc-sci.org). Neuroinformatics. 2022 Jan;20(1):203-219. doi: 10.1007/s12021-021-09533-8. Epub 2021 Aug 4. PMID: 34347243; PMCID: PMC9537193.For ODC-SCI: RRID:SCR_016673Grant support: WfL & CHNF, NIH U24NS122732
For ODC-TBI
Study data were deposited at the Open Data Commons for Traumatic Brain Injury (ODC-TBI; RRID:SCR_021736). The ODC-TBI is a secure, cloud-based repository platform designed to share research data (Chou et al., 2022).

Citing a dataset
ODC-SCI: Study data [INSERT REFERENCES FOR DATA UTILIZED] were downloaded from the Open Data Commons for Spinal Cord Injury (ODC-SCI; RRID:SCR_016673). The ODC-SCI/TBI is a secure, cloud-based repository platform designed to share research data (Torres-Espin et al., 2022).
ODC-TBI: Study data [INSERT REFERENCES FOR DATA UTILIZED] were downloaded from the Open Data Commons for Traumatic Brain Injury (ODC-TBI; RRID:SCR_021736). The ODC-TBI is a secure, cloud-based repository platform designed to share research data (Chou et al., 2022).
Insert the full dataset citation in the reference section of your manuscript; you will find this full dataset citation on the public dataset page, below the title of your dataset, for example:
Schmidt E. K., Raposo P. J F., Vavrek R., Fouad K. (2021) Lipopolysaccharide treatment in the subacute stage of cervical spinal cord injury enhances motor recovery and increases anxiety-like behavior in female rats. Open Data Commons for Spinal Cord Injury. ODC-SCI:459. https://doi.org/10.34945/F5FW2B
Always use the full https address with the dataset DOI number when referring to your dataset, for example:
https://doi.org/10.34945/F5XS31
Use of Reference Managers
ODC DOIs are compatible with some of the most common reference managers, including:
• Paperpile: Click the Paperpile button in your browser toolbar to import the ODC dataset citation. Dataset url or dataset DOI can also be used to directly import the dataset reference in your folder. For more information on how to use paperpile visit Paperpile guide page
• Zotero: By clicking on the Zotero Connector directly on your browser when visiting a specific public ODC-SCI dataset page you will add the identifying information to your Zotero library.
• Mendeley: Save references from the web directly to your Mendeley library with the Mendeley Web Importer or manually import files using the dataset DOI. This will look up the item in the Mendeley Catalog or if the reference is completely new to Mendeley, the details will be retrieved directly from the ODC public page. The Mendeley citation plugin automatically generates your bibliography.
