How should I reference published CSD data in my paper?

Modified on Thu, 1 Aug, 2024 at 12:15 PM

​We recommend that the CSD Refcode (entry ID) is included in the body of your paper in the style CSD-REFCOD, and that the original publication where the structure was published is cited in your references section.

We also recommend that our general citation to the CSD is included in the reference section:

The Cambridge Structural Database
C. R. Groom, I. J. Bruno, M. P. Lightfoot and S. C. Ward, Acta Cryst. (2016). B72,  171-179 
DOI: 10.1107/S2052520616003954
