Scientific data references

Regardless of the different formats in which scientific activity is recorded (flat, hierarchical, relational, XML databases, etc.), interoperability must be guaranteed and data reuse must be facilitated. These datasets are essentially dynamic (unlike documents) and it is necessary to ensure that the citation practice incorporates data versioning, that is, it is capable of maintaining the history of changes and additions to the original dataset.

The correct reference of these resources should be done as follows:

Last name, Initials of the author's name (Year of publication). Dataset title in italics [Dataset]. Version (date consulted). Resource DOI or URL

For other types of references, consult the APA Standards Manual, 7th. Edition in https://normasapa.pro/descargas/
