Citing datasets

albina
I wanted to ask how I should input datasets into my Zotero such as this http://core.tdar.org/dataset/394060/ast10_05
I don't think any of the options given in the Item type dropdown list are a good fit.

    there's currently no good way. I'd recommend using the journal article item type, since that has DOIs, and then add
    {:itemType: dataset}
    into the extra field, which will be recognized by the citation processor and (though I don't think any citation styles currently have this implemented) correctly format dataset citations.
    That's what we do on import from Dryad, for example.

    The current possibilities for datasets are also described on a special page.

    ah thanks--I had forgotten where this was written up.
