Why is data citation crucial for biodiversity data?
Data citation is a fundamental step in promoting transparency, credibility, and collaboration in the field of biodiversity research. It ensures that the hard work of data collectors and curators is recognised and facilitates the sharing and integration of valuable biodiversity datasets.
To shed light on the crucial aspects of recognising and attributing biodiversity research datasets, as well as to provide best practices for standardized dataset citation that acknowledge their creators and sources, ultimately making data more discoverable, reusable, and crediting those who collect and manage it, we are excited to announce our upcoming webinar in partnership with the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). Join us on 6 November 2023, as GBIF experts guide you through the essential techniques for citing biodiversity data effectively.
