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 - Data Citation
