Citation formats
Both datasets and derived data products need to be citable and cited after archiving. TIES follows the DataCite citation format for datasets and the APA style guide for derived data products (communication materials, policy briefs, posters, presentations, academic articles, preprints, etc.)
Dataset
We use the DataCite format to cite datasets (https://datacite.org/cite-your-data.html). The basic citation format is as follows:
Creator (PublicationYear). Title. Publisher. Identifier
There are also two optional properties. If used the citation format is:
Creator (PublicationYear). Title. Version. Publisher. ResourceType. Identifier.
The APA style guide also has a dataset citation format:
Author or Rightsholder, A. A. (Year). Title (Version Number) [Description of Form]. Publisher. Identifier or URL.
The Datacite format is preferable because it’s an open format and the DOI registration agency for datasets. There’s no differentiation between Publisher and Distributor in the citations. My preference is to include both in order to recognize the publishers (like Global TIES & IRC) and distributor (repository).
Creators (Publication Year). Title. Publisher [Publisher]. Distributor [distributor]. Identifier.
