How to Cite

Citations here are producer-first: credit the original statistical agency before the library. Every series and bundle ships its own ready-made citation.

Citing a series

Each series' citation (original producer, license, retrieval date, series id) is included in its CSV download header and its metadata.json. Use that citation — it names the agency that actually produced the numbers.
