    Data citation- DOIs

    “Repositories can help the effort to get people to cite data by providing a suggested citation to each data set”

    From Datacite:

    We recognise that the challenges associated with data publication vary across disciplines and encourage research communities to develop citation systems that work well for them. Our recommended format for a data citation is as follows:

    It may also be desirable to include information from two optional properties, Version and ResourceType (as appropriate). If so, the recommended form is as follows:

    • Creator (PublicationYear): Title. Version. Publisher. ResourceType. Identifier

    For citation purposes, DataCite recommends that DOI names are displayed as linkable, permanent URLs:
