Data Citation
Some of the data sets distributed by EIDA have DOI's (Digital Object Identifier) associated with their
seismic networks according to a standard procedure recently approved by the FDSN. Where this is the case, this will be shown on the ORFEUS EIDA network list page for that network. Please use the DOI indicated in your acknowledgments or citations as appropriate, if one is available. Citation is of the following form:
Creator (Year): Title. Publisher. ResourceType. doi:DOI.
GEOFON Data Center (1993): GEOFON Seismic Network. Deutsches GeoForschungsZentrum GFZ. Other/Seismic Network. doi:10.14470/TR560404.
Full seismic network citations including DOI if available can be obtained via the
FDSN web interface “Networks- Generate citations for network data”..
