As requested in https://mastodon.social/@crawfordsm/109676705818114890, I'm creating this issue to suggest that while the current guidelines for data generally require making data CC0 licensed, and encourage metadata and identifiers that make the data citable, the guidance does not actually require or encourage citation of the data when it is used. One could argue that existing scholarly norms already do this, but it would be useful if NASA at least encouraged this as well.

SPD-41a: SMD should encourage users to cite the sources of the data used to conduct peer-reviewed, published research.
