Data Citation Principles

Data Citation Principles are guidelines for correctly referencing data sources in research. They ensure that data used in studies is identified, accessible, and reusable by others. Proper citation includes details like the creator, title, version, publication date, and where it can be found. Following these principles promotes transparency, credit to data creators, and the ability to verify or build upon previous work. Essentially, they help maintain trust and integrity in research by acknowledging data as a valuable and citable resource.
