Data citation on the ANDS Website

There is a lot of information about data citation on the ANDS website.

http://ands.org.au/cite-data/index.html is the main page which links off to pages directed primarily at institutions and researchers.

There are also a number of videos up on the ANDS YouTube channel, grouped under a Data Citation playlist.
