1. The NCI collaborator provides a list of publications suggested for curation.
2. Publications are evaluated whether they are curable, i.e. comprise information relavant for curation in caNanoLab.
3. Data extraction from the publication.
4. Submission of extracted data into caNanoLab and into ISA-TAB-Nano forms.
5. Information submitted into caNanoLab must be machine-readable, searchable and comply with the established standards.
6. Sending to authors of a publication, a request for additional data and submission of provided additional data into caNanoLab and ISA-TAB-Nano forms.

Initial Steps

1. Create a caNanoLabData folder on a system or server that gets backup regularly. The caNanoLabData folder contains folders, named after institution or collaboration, e.g. USC_UV which contain additional subfolders. These subfolders, e.g., are named after first author of a publication, publication abbreviation, and publication year, e.g. , JCrecente-CampoJCR2019 contain an individual publication, i.e. PDF file and any supplemental data associated with a publication, extracted data, and supplemental data provided by an author. The caNanoLabData folder contains all auxiliary files, e.g. a list of cell lines, a list of all curated publications, a list of chemical compounds, a list of new terms, and recently added list of Bioportal terms.
2. Create a subfolder in caNanoLab folder to store the publication and extracted data. A subfolder name comprises first author name, journal name, and year of publication. Additional subfolder within this subfolder is created to store ISA-TAB-Nano forms.
