This citation +uses the DataCite citation style, which is a widely accepted standard for citing datasets, but you may need to adapt it +to the citation style required by the journal you are submitting to. + +If the Dandiset has an associated publication, it may also be appropriate to cite the publication, but this does not +replace the need to cite the Dandiset itself. + +Citing the Dandiset is important because it provides a direct link to the data used in your research, which can be used +to verify your results and to facilitate reproducibility. It also provides credit to the data contributors and helps +us track the impact of the data DANDI hosts. + + +Data availability statements +---------------------------- +It is common for journals to require a Data Availability Statement in the manuscript, which should include the DOI of +the Dandiset used in the research. Here is an example of a well formatted Data Availability Statement: + +``` +The data that support the findings of this study are openly available on the DANDI Archive at [DOI of Dandiset]. +``` + +It is important to note that a Data Availability Statement does not replace the need for a full citation in the +manuscript's references section. +Both elements serve different purposes and are typically required for comprehensive documentation of data sources. \ No newline at end of file
