Citing the Dandiset and other datasets is important because it provides a direct link to the data used in your research. That is crucial, because it:

- allows others to better understand and verify your results, and facilitates reproducibility,
- connects your work to other research using the same dataset,
- provides credit to the data collectors and maintainers,
- helps track the impact of DANDI and other data archives.

## Data availability statement

Data availability statements
----------------------------
It is common for journals to require a Data Availability Statement in the manuscript, which should include the
DANDI Archive RRID and the DOI of the Dandiset used in the research.
Here is an example of a well formatted Data Availability Statement:

```
The data that support the findings of this study are openly available on the DANDI Archive (RRID:SCR_017571) at [DOI of Dandiset].
```
> The data that support the findings of this study are openly available on the DANDI Archive (RRID:SCR_017571) at [DOI of Dandiset] (citation of Dandiset).
**It is important to note that a Data Availability Statement does not replace the need for a full citation in the
manuscript's references section.**
