3 ) Citation. It is considered a matter of professional ethics to acknowledge the work of other scientists. Thus, the Data User will properly cite the Data Set in any publications or in the metadata of any derived data products that were produced using the Data Set. Citation should take the following general form: Creator, Year of Data Publication, Title of Dataset, Publisher, Dataset identifier. For example:

Shaver, G. 1989. Above ground biomass in acidic tussock tundra experimental site, 1989, Arctic LTER, Toolik, Alaska. Arctic LTER, Marine Biological Lab, Woods Hole, Ma 02543. 1989gsttbm http://ecosystems.mbl.edu/arc/terrest/biomass/index.shtml

4 ) Acknowledgement. The Data User should acknowledge any institutional support or specific funding awards referenced in the metadata accompanying this dataset in any publications where the Data Set contributed significantly to its content. Acknowledgements should identify the supporting party, the party that received the support, and any identifying information such as grant numbers. For example:

Data sets were provided by the Arctic LTER. This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grants #DEB-981022, 9211775, 8702328; #OPP-9911278, 9911681, 9732281, 9615411, 9615563, 9615942, 9615949, 9400722, 9415411, 9318529; #BSR 9019055, 8806635, 8507493.

TAXONOMIC COVERAGE:
Organisms studied

Methods:	Water samples were taken weekly from both sides of lake N-2. The sampling depths for the Control side were 0, 1, 3, 5, and 6 meters and the Treatment side were 0, 1, 3, 5, and 7 meters. Samples were filtered through a Gelman A/E glass fiber filter. Filters were extracted in the dark for 24 hours and read on a Turner 111 fluorometer. Algae was incubated for 24 hours, filtered onto a .45 um Metricel filter and counted with a liquid scintillation counter. Reference Citations: R.G. Wetzel & G.E. Likens. 1979. Limnological Methods.
