How to cite GBIF data

  1. Guidelines how to cite specimen and observation data
  2. Guidelines how to cite names data
  3. White paper on background and issues

Please note that all these papers are drafts. The guidelines here can be used on a trial basis.

A public commenting period is now closed, but your comments are still appreciated by webmaster@gbif.org. GBIF Secretariat will also appreciate receiving copies or URLs to publications where GBIF data has been used. Please send them to this address.
