Social Science Data Resources

A guide for ASU Faculty, researchers, students, and community Social Sciences Data resources.

How to Cite Datasets?

Citing datasets helps to further research and assures reliable, predictable, and unambiguous access to research data in order to:

  • support proper attribution and credit
  • support collaboration and reuse of data
  • enable reproducibility of findings
  • foster faster and more efficient research progress, and
  • provide the means to share data with future researchers​

Dataset citation examples from DataCite:

  • Creator (PublicationYear). Title. Publisher. Identifier
    • It may also be desirable to include information about two optional properties, Version and ResourceType (as appropriate). If so, the recommended form is as follows:
  • Creator (PublicationYear). Title. Version. Publisher. ResourceType. Identifier

From: "DataCite - Cite Your Data (http://www.datacite.org.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/cite-your-data.html)."

Citing Datasets and Statistics

The ASU Library acknowledges the twenty-three Native Nations that have inhabited this land for centuries. Arizona State University's four campuses are located in the Salt River Valley on ancestral territories of Indigenous peoples, including the Akimel O’odham (Pima) and Pee Posh (Maricopa) Indian Communities, whose care and keeping of these lands allows us to be here today. ASU Library acknowledges the sovereignty of these nations and seeks to foster an environment of success and possibility for Native American students and patrons. We are advocates for the incorporation of Indigenous knowledge systems and research methodologies within contemporary library practice. ASU Library welcomes members of the Akimel O’odham and Pee Posh, and all Native nations to the Library.
