Citation of Data That Were New Contributed

  1. All of the information from other articles in this section, including how to cite data that was accessed from MorphoSource, is still applicable.
  2. If you need help assigning large numbers of DOIs, contact the MorphoSource administrators.
  3. Review the MorphoSource terms and conditions and make sure you have the necessary approvals from any museum stakeholders and are documenting the ownership and use restrictions on the data correctly.
  4. Again, citing your MorphoSource data project URL can be helpful, but it is NOT a replacement for listing individual data identifiers. You do a disservice to yourself and the scientific community by not listing individual files, because individual file listing allows for automatic determination of impact by third-party tools in a way that project URLs or simply acknowledging MorphoSource or the creators of the data do not.
