The instructions on this page are valid for references to data sets. Some data sets will have a group author, e.g. organization, company or authority, instead of a personal author. If the group author is the same as the publisher, omit the site name from the reference. For data sets where the content is designed to change over time, you conclude the reference with information on the retrieval date in addition to the URL in the format “Retrieved Month DD, YYYY, from http://xxxx”.
If a DOI has been assigned to the data set, you should include this number after the name of the publisher. If no DOI has been assigned and you are accessing the data online, use the URL of the website from which it was retrieved.
