where do data citations go

[marieconnolly]

In the template, we should make clearer where data citations go. I often have authors send me a ReadMe that is very good, but none of them put data citations in the References. Lars explained: in the DAS, the author will explain how to get access to the data, and cite it, but then the reference goes in the reference list. I don't think this is explicit enough.

Example:
" Trade data for 1974-2000 were downloaded from the NBER-UN World Trade Flows dataset (Feenstra & Lipsey, 2005) originally created by Feenstra et al (2005). Data can be directly downloaded using https://cid.econ.ucdavis.edu/nberus.html. We use fileswtf74 through wtf00. The data are in the public domain"

And then later in the references:

Feenstra & Lipsey. 2005. "NBER-United Nations Trade Data 1962-2000". Center for International Trade, UC Davis [distributor]. https://cid.econ.ucdavis.edu/nberus.html accessed on 2021-03-24.
