Thank you for raising this important question about how to credit the contributors of a phenotype definition in the OHDSI Phenotype Library.
To identify the contributor of a specific definition, you can refer to the following guide on the OHDSI website: Phenotype Definitions in OHDSI Phenotype Library
https://ohdsi.github.io/PhenotypeLibrary/articles/CohortDefinitionsInOhdsiPhenotypeLibrary.html
Once there, filter by the cohortId to locate the specific phenotype. For example, in the screenshot below, you can find the cohortId along with the column titled “Contributors”. Here, the contributors’ names and corresponding ORCID IDs are listed. In the case of cohort #333, I am listed as the contributor (Gowtham A. Rao).
When crediting the author or contributors, you can use either of the following formats depending on the level of detail you wish to include:
- Long form: “#333 of version 3.32.0 by Rao et al. from the OHDSI Phenotype Library detailed in citation [6].”
- Short form: “Rao et al., #333 [6].”
Here, “[6]” would refer to the citation of a paper about the OHDSI Phenotype Library, which is currently under draft. You can find more about this and how to participate in the draft here: Invitation to Collaborate on Community Publication on the OHDSI Phenotype Library.
Note - this paper is open and it is part of the OKR’s of the OHDSI phenotype development and evaluation workgroup
