Description (last modified by rgrp) (diff)
Some sort of citation helper. Something small on the dataset and resource page that would show how to cite.

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]"
Implementation
Add a small box at bottom of dataset / resource page (or in sidebar on dataset page) with title "Cite this" with contents like:
%title. %author. Retrieved %date. %site_title.
For resource: %title = %dataset_title. %resource_name.
Could also add export to ref managers (e.g. to bibtex) but that is for later.
