Citation guidelines

All Epos-France data sets have DOIs (Digital Object Identifier ) associated with their seismic network according to the standard procedure approved in 2014 by the FDSN.

If you are using Epos-France data for your research, you must  use these DOI  in your acknowledgments or citations as appropriate. You can find citation information on each network page https://seismology.resif.fr/networks/#/ or use the FDSN web tool to automatically generate citations Epos-France datasets. It is also possible to get the citation information of Epos-France data in various formats from datacite, see for instance https://commons.datacite.org/doi.org/10.18715/geoscope.g

Citation example:

The principle is simple: cite seismic networks as you would cite a research article. Here is an example for a seismicity study using data from the French Broad Band, the Strong Motion networks and from GEOSCOPE.

In the main body of the article:

In this study we used data from networks with FDSN code FR (RESIF, 1995a), RA (RESIF, 1995b) and G (Institut De Physique Du Globe De Paris (IPGP) and Ecole Et Observatoire Des Sciences De La Terre De Strasbourg (EOST), 1982).
