This is a guide on the best practices on the LinkedEarth wiki. We encourage researchers to use it to help keep a consistent nomenclature among the various datasets. We expect this guide to be updated often as new datasets are added and needs arise, so please check this guide regularly.

Dataset Name

The naming convention for datasets is SiteName.FirstAuthor.PubYear. For instance, for this dataset, the SiteName is MD98-2181 (the name of the marine sediment core), the first author is Khider and the dataset was first published in 2014: MD982181.Khider.2014

If uploading from a LiPD file, the dataset name should be automatically filled out for you.

Publication
