I am writing to you with regard to your projects using the ONS LS, and any publications that have arisen from them.
As you know CeLSIUS (Centre for Longitudinal Study Information and User Support) took over provision of support to academic users of the LS in December of last year (please see our website www.celsius.lshtm.ac.uk for more information about us). We are now in the process of checking that the list of outputs from the LS is complete and would be very grateful if you could let us have complete details of any additions to entries we have for your projects, and if possible a copy of any publications.
It is important for us, other users and funders of the LS to know what outputs have arisen from LS based research so we would appreciate your help with this. I apologise if you have already supplied this information, it is possible that during the transfer of the LS support group from CLS to CeLSIUS some information of this kind was lost.
Additionally, I should remind you that research outputs based upon the LS have to be regularly reported to, and cleared by, ONS and that the LS Unit at ONS need advance warning of publications or conference papers (as laid out in the undertaking form that you signed). In the case of any further outputs from your project (including conference presentations) please could you send them to us 28 days in advance so that we can ensure this process is adhered to.
A list of publications arising from research based on the LS is currently available on our website and we are developing a database of publications which allow searching by keywords and types of data used. We hope this will help existing and new users to locate more easily previous work relevant to projects they are planning or undertaking.
Please see http://www.celsius.lshtm.ac.uk/stepbystep (step 9, "Notify CeLSIUS of publications arising") for a copy of our procedure for clearing outputs using LS data, and a form which you may find helpful to complete when you send in a paper.
Many thanks.
Yours sincerely
