Editorial commentary
The eight principles assert that data citations should be: (1) accorded the same importance as bibliographic citations; (2) provide credit and legal attribution to all contributors; (3) used as evidence; (4) include a method for uniquely identifying the data; (5) facilitate access to the data and its associated metadata; (6) persist beyond the lifespan of the data they describe; (7) identify the specific data used and be verifiable; (8) be machine-interoperable. The Declaration has been endorsed by over a hundred publisher, funder, and infrastructure organisations.
