📖 New Blog: Guidance on How to Cite Census Bureau Products and Information
Written by: Emily Molfino
In an age where data are abundant and readily accessible, citing sources enhances the credibility of research and writing, strengthens one's argument, and supports scientific integrity by promoting transparency and reproducibility.
When you use and consistently cite U.S. Census Bureau data in your work, it enhances its credibility because it lets readers know your data come from a trusted and reliable source. In addition, consistent citations help the Census Bureau measure the quality and impact of work that uses Census Bureau data. It also helps communicate the value of the data for research. In turn, this can lead to creation of new statistics and research and inform funding decisions for the federal statistical system.
The Census Bureau recently released new guidance on how to cite its statistical products, technical documentation and research through the citation of publications, data, code and tools. This blog provides a brief overview of the guidance and shares a new data.census.gov feature designed to make citing Census Bureau data even easier.
