'''Policies'''
==Policy for Granting of CCGA Contributor Access==
The Compendium of Cancer Genome Aberrations (CCGA) is a crowdsourced resource, with content created and modified in real time by users given a username and password. This policy defines the process for determining new user access for creating and editing content.
#Any member of the CCGA Knowledgebase workgroup or Genomic Resources Development Committee (GRDC) may provide access immediately if requested to do so by an individual. However, typically accounts will be created by the Technical Editor following receipt of a completed [https://mms.cancergenomics.org/members/form.php?orgcode=CGC&fid=3830649 <u>Volunteer Form</u>].
#The person who provides access will add the new contributor information into the user access log at [[User Access Log|<u>User Access Log</u>]].
#It is encouraged that ABMGG trainees, pathology residents or other post-graduate trainees collaborate with a mentor/sponsor who can help curate their work.
#Individuals will be required to review and agree with the “Honor Code for CCGA Content Contributor” which is part of the initial [https://mms.cancergenomics.org/members/form.php?orgcode=CGC&fid=3830649 <u>Volunteer Form</u>].
#The CCGA leadership reserves the right to deny CCGA site authorship/editorial access to any applicant and to remove access as deemed appropriate.

==Policy for Inclusion of Figures on the CCGA Site==
Use of illustrative figures on the CCGA is encouraged. This policy defines the process for inclusion of a figure.
#For figures created by an individual or provided from their lab, the PHI must be removed and the submitter’s name and institution included in the figure legend.
#For figures from any other source (such as a website or published paper), a link to the image content, if openly accessible, can be used on the CCGA page. If such a link is not possible, written permission must be obtained by the person creating the CCGA page before addition to the page. This written permission should be shared with the Associate Editor of the related section and copied to ccga@cancergenomics.org. The figure legend should include the appropriate reference and confirmation that permission was obtained.
