Tell your peers about your work and hope it leads to new and even greater things for you, your fellow scientists, and society. But is that really enough? Maybe there’s a wider audience for your science, outside of the narrow confines of your academic circle. Maybe it has applications in other fields, or perhaps the public would like to (or even should) know about it. Plus of course if you get your paper noticed it’s much more likely to have the citations and impact that you, your department and all the metric measurers have been hoping for.

In this month’s Editorial (doi:10.1038/ng.3088) we mention 66 articles in this journal published between 2008 and 2013 that cite dbGaP accession codes and we took a preliminary look at citation of 13 pairs of GWAS articles with and without a dbGaP accession published on the same trait on the same day in the same journal (in the case of more than two simultaneous articles, non-overlapping pairs were assigned by sequential DOI number). Here are the references and some of the citation information for readers who want to investigate this area further.
