How-to-cite

Data

Data coming from the CHIPS dashboard, from CSV exports, or directly from API URLs are separate entities distributed under the CC BY 4.0 license and can be cited individually (see the "reference" field). For example:


how-to-cite1
Cite a dataset exported from the API (from: http://157.136.252.188:3000/dataset_jmilot16)



how-to-cite2
Cite a dataset exported as CSV

Database

The CHIPS database itself, which provides standardization and interoperability, should be cited separately:

@misc{chips_database,
  title        = {CHIPS Database -- CHImie en PaléoSidérurgie},
  author       = {{IRAMAT-CNRS}},
  institution  = {IRAMAT-CNRS},
  publisher    = {IRAMAT-CNRS},
  year         = {2026},
  url          = {https://iramat-apps.cnrs.fr/dash/},
  note         = {Online database, accessed 2026-05-11},
  organization = {IRAMAT-CNRS},
  ror          = {https://ror.org/01cw28e72}
}
