First Principles for Data Citation 1. Status of Data: Data citations should be accorded the same importance in the scholarly record as the citation of other objects. 2. Attribution: A citation to data should facilitate giving scholarly credit and legal attribution to all parties responsible for those data. 3. Persistence: Citations should refer to objects that persist. 4. Access: Citations should facilitate access to data by humans and by machines. 5. Discovery: Citations should support the discovery of data and their documentation. 8. First Principles for Data Citation 6. Provenance: Citations should facilitate the establishment of provenance of data. 7. Granularity: Citations should support the finest-grained description necessary to identify the data. 8. Verifiability: Citations should contain information sufficient to identify the data unambiguously. 9. Metadata Standards: Citations should employ existing metadata standards. 10. Flexibility: Citation methods should be sufficiently flexible to accommodate the variant practices among communities but should not differ so much that they compromise interoperability of data across communities.. 9.
