Implementing and Promoting Data Citation for CLARINResources at FIN-CLARIN

Citation instructions are provided for all corpora in the Language Bank of Finland to promote good reference practices in the use of research data. By utilizing persistent identifiers (PIDs) and curated metadata, uniform citations can be constructed automatically, even for forthcoming resources. This work outlines how citation components such as authors, publication year, versions, and publisher are currently managed in the Language Bank of Finland, and discusses challenges related to metadata accuracy and interoperability. Data citation practices could be harmonized across CLARIN repositories by supporting data citation more directly via CLARIN compliant metadata.
