For all
non-proprietary users users of 11-BM, the only "cost" for users is that they provide us with information about published reports containing 11-BM data.
Mail-in users will periodically receive an automated email inquiring about the status of data previously collected at 11-BM. This email provides users a convenient method to supply citation information for published work or a short explanation if analysis of samples has been abandoned. Users can also provide publication information or update the status of a sample anytime online at the
11-BM user webpage.
This information helps demonstrate the value of 11-BM to our sponsers, and provides us with valuable user input on how 11-BM and its mail-in service can be improved.
