Invitation for scientific comment: DPUK Publications policy

By providing a suite of free data and resources for researchers, Dementias Platform UK facilitates access, and use of, population or ‘cohort’ study data on a scale not seen before. DPUK also funds specific approved scientific programmes of work. The DPUK Publications policy has been updated to ensure we both facilitate access to scientific findings that have been obtained through DPUK, and adequately recognise individual contributors’ input to the work underpinning the publication.

Full details are set out in the DPUK Publications policy.

We welcome views from the dementia research community. Researchers are invited to comment by contacting us at dpuk@psych.ox.ac.uk.
