The Linguistics Data Interest Group (LDIG) of the Research Data Alliance (RDA)
is pleased to announce the adoption of The Tromsø Recommendations for Citation
of Research Data in Linguistics as a supporting output of the RDA.

The Tromsø Recommendations provide guidance to researchers, authors, editors
and publishers about proper citation of language datasets in publications. 

Read The Tromsø Recommendations for Citation of Research Data in Linguistics
at https://zenodo.org/record/3672840#.Xku-92j7Q2w.

About the Recommendations:
Language datasets are often not cited, or cited imprecisely, because of
confusion surrounding the proper methods for citing them. For the use of
researchers and scholars in the field working with datasets, these
recommendations propose components of data citation for referencing language
data, both in the bibliography and in the text of publications. Templates and
ample examples of a variety of linguistic data types are provided.

The intended audience for these recommendations consists of i) academic
publishers, ii) resource providers (e.g. repositories, archives), iii)
researchers citing data, and iv) researchers making data management plans,
developing and depositing data, and preparing metadata.

Academic publishers will have the opportunity to add these recommendations to
their author guidelines for citation. Resource providers will learn which
metadata and citation elements are crucial in order for data to be properly
citable. Researchers using data in their publication will know how to cite
these data in case publisher guidelines are underspecified. Researchers
depositing data in a repository will know more about what metadata they should
provide in order to publish their data so as to make them citable.

The current version of The Tromsø Recommendations for Citation of Research
Data in Linguistics is the result of three rounds of editing after feedback
from the LDIG community and other linguistic data experts in 2019. New
versions will appear as needed.
