Even though an increasing portion of biomedical research today relies on the use of bioresources, at present biobankers are not able to trace this use in scientific literature and measure its impact with a variety of citation metrics. The "BRIF (Bioresource Research Impact Factor) and journal editors" subgroup was created precisely with the aim to study this issue and to build a standardized system to cite bioresources in journal articles. This report aims at presenting a guideline for Citation of BioResources in journal Articles (CoBRA). The guideline offers for the first time a standard for citing bioresources (including biobanks) within journal articles. It will increase their visibility and promote their sharing.
尽管当今越来越多的生物医学研究依赖生物资源的使用,但目前生物样本库管理者无法在科学文献中追踪这种使用情况,也无法用各种引用指标衡量其影响。“生物资源研究影响因子(BRIF)与期刊编辑”小组正是为研究这一问题并建立一个在期刊文章中引用生物资源的标准化系统而设立的。本报告旨在提出一份期刊文章中生物资源引用指南(CoBRA)。该指南首次为在期刊文章中引用生物资源(包括生物样本库)提供了标准。这将提高它们的可见性并促进其共享。
