The Digital Curation Centre (DCC) is a centre of expertise in digital information curation, with a focus on research data management. Among its activities is the publication of How-to Guides that provide working knowledge of curation topics. The guides are aimed at people in research or support posts who are new to managing and curating data.
"How to Cite Datasets and Link to Publications" is a title in this series, and this is where it is maintained.
There are two main branches in use:
Note that Version 1 (2011-10-18) and Version 2 (2012-06-20) were written using a different system and therefore their history is not recorded in this repository.
The document is written in the flavour of Markdown used by Pandoc to make it easy to generate alternative formats.
The references are generated from the bibliographic information in the cite-datasets.bib
file, which is written in biblatex format.
Turning the Markdown code into HTML and camera-ready PDF is quite involved, so it is recommended you use the provided Makefile. To use it as it stands you will need the following installed on your system:
For a camera-ready PDF such as the DCC publishes, you will also need the class file dcchowto.cls
installed to your TeX tree or in your working directory. Currently the only way of getting it is to generate it from the dcchowto
DTX file.
To generate both HTML and a camera-ready PDF, simply run this command:
make
For just the HTML:
make html
For just the camera-ready PDF:
make dtp
For a preview PDF:
make pdf
To clean up the auxiliary files:
make clean
To remove all generated files:
make distclean
