Publication and citation

Once the ARC publication is published on the ARChive, you can cite it via its digital object identifier (DOI). The DOI is a persistent identifier and will always resolve to the ARC publication. The DOI is also registered with DataCite and will be indexed by DataCite and other DOI registration agencies. This means that the ARC publication will be findable and citable by other researchers.

When referring to your ARC publication in a journal manuscript (e.g. in the ‘data availability’ statement), please use the full ARC citation or its DOI. To cite or acknowledge the tools and services of the DataPLANT consortium, please refer to the example text blocks available on the DataPLANT website. Finally, data stewards who helped in the curation of the ARC publication appreciate to be acknowledged in the manuscript.

You can cite your ARC publication in the same way as you would cite a journal article. The citation can be copied from the record in the ARChive (1)

  • (1): Citation of the record.
  • (2): Details of the record. You can get the DOI badge from here.
