I agree to include PIs as co-authors on publications where their data are used, unless he or she declines co-authorship.

I confirm that if I use the downloaded data I will respect in full the terms of the Forest Plots code of conduct, which include but are not limited to the above requirements.

I agree to have my download activity recorded by Forest Plots Database.

I agree to acknowledge the Forest Plots database as a source of any data or information obtained through ForestPlots.net.
