I'm in no position to discuss the actual service, but was really surprised by the citation requests at the bottom. If you use the service, please cite these 6 papers. If you use the data, please cite these other 2.
Is this a new norm that's come about from publish/perish since I was at uni? I've always assumed that you cite what you actually refer to, and even if you just cite as a reference to describe a working project, surely one suffices. Six though?
- foota 10y agoI'm not publishing any papers but I imagine that if I were just using the service as opposed to reading a specific paper I would be at a loss for what to cite without being told.
- greglindahl 10y agoThis has been the norm for quite a while.
- rabboRubble 10y agoIn the data science world, it's good form to acknowledge where you got your data from. Allows for research reproducibility. More generally it is good form to acknowledge if you've used somebody else's method.
- roel_v 10y agoMaybe you were at uni 60 years ago, but yes sometimes you cite more than one source.
- arethuza 10y agoWell, when I was at university it was considered bad form to cite sources you hadn't actually consulted yourself.
- pbnjay 10y agoIt's really odd to see a direct request for all of them, usually it'd just be the most recent.
