Description
Some sort of citation helper. Something small on the package page that could open-up to provide citations to copy and paste.
Aim: provide some guidance for academics/researchers who are creating knowledge.some guidance for academics/researchers who are creating knowledge.
Use cases:
- someone wanting to refer to the package metadata in CKAN
- someone wanting to refer to the metadata for a resource in CKAN
We could also add a timestamp, or revision ID in the link, perhaps as an alternative to the 'Accessed on 31/5/11' bit.
I understand there are various exacting standards for citations, but I would have thought the key thing is to suggest the idea and make it easy access to the key information required for whatever format the user needs.

timclicks: I'm looking at Dataverse for the first time[0]. It seems very popular in the social sciences. I noticed that there is a recommended citation for each dataset. For example, [1] is has this one: "Targeted Input Programme (TIP) 2000-01", http://hdl.handle.net/1902.1/SSC-MWI-TIP2000-01-M1 V1 [Version]"
