For instance, the following (inspired by the ACRE guide):

Data.Name Data.Files Location Provided Citation
“Current Population Survey 2018” cepr_march_2018.dta data/ TRUE CEPR (2018)
“Provincial Administration Reports” coast_simplepoint2.csv; rivers_simplepoint2.csv; RAIL_dummies.dta; railways_Dissolve_Simplify_point2.csv Data/maps/ TRUE Administration (2017)
“2017 SAT scores” Not available data/to_clean/ FALSE College Board (2020)

where of course the citations ("CEPR (2018)") are resolved in the "References" section of the README and/or the manuscript.

The data availability section would still need to provide more info on restricted datasets, and on all data that are sourced from elsewhere (URL or DOI if not included in the citation).
