View Citations

You can view a formatted citation for any of the following entities within the DVN application:

  • Studies - For every study, you can view a citation for that study.
    Go to the Cataloging Information tab for a study and view the How to Cite field.
  • Data sets - For any data set, you can view a citation for that set.
    Go to the Documentation, Data and Analysis tab for a study to see the list of study files. To view the citation for any data set click the View Data Citation link associated with that subsettable file.
  • Data subsets - If you subset and analyze a data set, you can view a citation for each subset.
    See Apply Descriptive Statistics or Perform Advanced Analysis for detailed information.
    Also, when you download a workspace file, a copy of the citation information for that subset is provided in the download.

Note: For individual variables within a data subset, you can view the UNF for that variable. This is not a full citation for the variable, but it is one component of that citation.
