# Citing Datasets & Resources

Assets published on the Portal are valuable research outcomes, users of these, including the submitters, should always cite them in publications, presentations, and on web-sites. As the reuse of data, models, and tools is valued more and more; following these methods allows proper accreditation. To ensure people receive proper attribution, always reference the DOI; the Portal aids this by providing multiple options on the Cite tab.

For more detailed information about how to cite SPARC datasets, please see [Instructions for Citing Datasets in Manuscripts](https://docs.sparc.science/docs/instructions-for-sparc-investigators-to-cite-their-datasets-in-manuscripts-1).
