How do I cite a data set?

Modified on Fri, 11 Oct at 12:39 PM

Where datasets are hosted in public repositories that provide datasets with Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs), we encourage these datasets to be formally cited in reference lists. Citations of datasets, when they appear in the reference list, should include the minimum information recommended by DataCite and follow journal style.


DataCite recommended format for data citation is as follows:


Creator (PublicationYear). Title. Publisher. Identifier (if available)
