Citing OOI Data The “Ocean Observatories Initiative” should be cited as the source for any data used in research projects or papers derived from OOI instrumentation, including posts on social media where a link to the OOI data must be provided. General Data Source When citing OOI as the general data source, we encourage authors to use the following format: NSF Ocean Observatories Initiative Data Portal, http://ooinet.oceanobservatories.org. Downloaded on (date_accessed). Specific Instrument and Time Frame When citing data from a specific instrument and time range, we suggest the following format: NSF Ocean Observatories Initiative Data Portal, http://ooinet.oceanobservatories.org, (data_type, reference_designator) data from (start_date) to (end_date). Downloaded on (date_accessed). For example: NSF Ocean Observatories Initiative Data Portal, http://ooinet.oceanobservatories.org, Bottom Pressure Tilt (RS03CCAL-MJ03F-05-BOTPTA301) data from 25 January 2015 to 25 May 2016.
