Proper citation for reference of these workflows to NIH Data Commons

[FarahZKhan]

Hello,
I am currently using the RNA-seq workflow from this repository and was wondering if we have a citation for the following statement in the readme, i.e. somewhere on a website if this repository is associated with the Data Commons project so I can use it as a citation.

This repository contains CWL Workflows developed by Team Helium as part of the DataCommons project. 

Any help will be much appreciated,
Thanks

@FarahZKhan I'll look into this. Are you specifically looking for a link to the NIH Data Commons or just a citation for these workflows?

Thanks for getting back to me Chris,
If possible, is there a way to have a citation where there is some mention of "team helium" or these workflows being part of NIH Data Commons initiative.

I have cited git repo for now but a stable citation would be very helpful.
Thanks,

@FarahZKhan There doesn't seem to be anything publicly citable that links these workflows to the NIH Data Commons initiative.

I'm assuming you are looking for a citation for something you plan to publish? What's your time line like?

I might be able to put something small together that I could submit to F1000 or JOSS. I could describe the relationship with the data commons and what the workflow was used for in that. I'm not sure how soon I could get it done.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the reply,
Yes that is right I am planning to cite this in a recent manuscript I am planning in a week or so.
I think in any case, it is good to have something like you mentioned F1000 citation if someone else also wants to use these. What I can do is, update the citation once you F1000 submission is online with a DOI. For now, I think the best would be git repo then?

@FarahZKhan That sounds like a good plan. I'll update this issue once I get something together.

@FarahZKhan I was looking into JOSS and F1000 some more. This is really just a ported workflow, part of a larger project that may or may not have publications come out of it in the future. I don't think this workflow stands on it's own as a publication. Unfortunately, that means I don't have a more solid like between this workflow and the NIH Data Commons project.

I did separate the code into it's own repo so there is a more direct reference to the RNA-seq workflow.

I'd be happy to help get you any information you might need in relation to this workflow for your methods section.
