Research Data Management

Data citations allow the impact of data to be tracked and are separate from publication citations. Follow the same practices for citing data as you would for citing a publication. These guides can help determine the citation elements to include when citing a data set. Author guidelines or style guide provide information on properly arranging and formatting these citation elements.
