You won't be in the database of those killboards unless you have lost a ship to another player or killed another player ship.
One of the most common Killboards is Battleclinic which attempts to hold every players kills and losses on an individual basis, although you can search for corps too.
http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/
If you enter your API information in the relevant place it will automatically pull your data from Eve or you can manually copy the kill mail into Battleclinic on the page linked above. For the latter though, you will only be able to access the KMs containing kills where you got the final blow plus all your losses. These mails you will find in the Combat Log tab of your character sheet. Kills that you merely assisted on, even if you were the top damage dealer do not appear there, but you can copy them from another killboard if they appear on them.
Most corps usually subscribe to an Eve-Kill killboard which specifically deals with their own corp. In this case the CEO of the corp enters his API information and then the killboard extracts all the KMs that feature corp pilots one way or another. Again you can manually post the kills for a faster update. The 'problem' with this killboard is that when you move corps you start again at zero, thus people often maintain their battleclinic KB in parallel.
Of course errors do happen and it is possible to fake killmails and post them. Most board administrators take a dim view of the latter, it is usually very quickly brought to their attention and is removed. Board administrators can edit KMs once posted, but there has to be a good reason for them to do it, clear evidence that the KM is malformed or faked, they won't remove it just because you don't want to see an expensive loss. |

I've edited the first post with this - but you do not need an account to manually post a KM in Battleclinic, the page linked above has the post mail box on it.
API is a code that you can get from Eve online website, I forget where exactly but it shouldn't be too difficult to find. |

The 'final blow' decides who gets the KM in their Combat Log on the victor side. You might be in a fleet of 20, only the guy with the final blow gets the KM in their ingame Combat Log + the losing player also gets a Loss Mail. If you get either, you can manually copy and paste it into a Killboard. |

If you are in a fleet and say 20 of you activated an offensive module on the killed ship, you all appear on the KM and once it is posted, all of you gets your stats updated with a Kill.
Thus 20 individual pilots will get their kill count incremented. Plus the full value of the destroyed ship added to their Isk efficiency. Killpoints (based on ship type destroyed and value of modules fitted) are divided by the number of pilots that shared the kill and of course damage done is specific to each pilot.
Offensive modules includes Tackle and ECM and guns that fire but miss, even ones hopelessly out of range. Thus people often appear on mails with 0 damage done. With the exception of ECM and Tacklers, this is referred to as KM whoring.
Note: The damage done against a ship is reset each session counter that it goes through. In other words it is the last session counter that determines who appears on the KM (on the victor side). Thus a fleet of 20 can engage a ship on a gate. 19 of them fire on the ship and take it to deep structure, then it jumps through the gate. The single unaggressed pilot in the fleet jumps after him and catches him on the other side, fires a single shot and pops him. The KM will show that as a single pilot kill, the other 19 pilots who did the main damage won't be mentioned. In addition that KM will show that he only took a tiny amount of damage.
At the other extreme, it is possible to engage a pilot, get popped by him and then find you feature as the top damage dealer on his loss mail when he got popped himself ten minutes later in a completely different engagement, assuming he stays in the same system and doesn't dock up in the intervening time. |
