linkData Citation
Data Citations direct readers to a data source referred to within a publication. Part of the citation is a digital object identifier (DOI). It is a permanent and unique label for an Internet-based object and is used in the same way DOIs are used to provide links to a published paper, report, or books. Publication and data citations both appear in formal reference lists. Below we briefly discuss how this is done, why it is important, and citation services available from the Geoscience Data Exchange at NCAR (GDEX).
