Tips for this reference type
- The date for a published data set is the year of publication, for unpublished data, the date should be the year of collection.
- Include a retrieval date only if the data set is designed to change over time.
- The title of the data set should be italicized.
- A DOI for datasets should be included as part of the reference. If there is no DOI, include the URL of the webpage where the data is indexed.
- The recommended format for including DOI in references is https://doi.org/xxxxxxxxxx
