Developing Belief Network Authorship Guidelines

The Developing Belief Network (DBN) is a network of research teams working across cultural settings, committed to collaborating and publishing together over the course of many years. The current document outlines guidelines for DBN members writing about our datasets before they become widely available to the general public at large, i.e., when a given team initially completes data collection in their own samples(s) and during the initial “embargo period(s)” when data access is restricted to DBN members. When data is released to the general public, the dataset will be accompanied by a separate set of guidelines for data use.
