Data Literacy ~ Citation and Sharing

Citation and Sharing

Knowledge of widely-accepted data citation methods, creates correct citations for secondary data sets (Ridsdale, et.al., 2015).

Although you are likely creating your own, original data visualizations, they are based on external data sources. Any reader who is looking at your data visualization should be able to find its original source. Don’t forget to cite your data source that you used to create your visualization.
