Network citation information on this page may be obsolete
FDSN is moving to use Digital Object Identifers for network citations. If you are looking for (or want to update) the citation information for a particular network, please look in the network listings first.
As the distribution of seismic data becomes simpler and more widespread, the International Federation of Digital Seismographic Networks (FDSN) is developing a mechanism whereby people requesting and receiving data from a given network are periodically reminded of the network from which their data originated. In this manner, proper attribution can be given to the operating networks in scientific articles or reports.
The FDSN is compiling a set of citations that the various networks would like to have referenced whenever data from their network is used.
Here is the list of citations

The Northern California Earthquake Data Center (NCEDC) is a permanent archive and distribution center primarily for geophysical data relating to earthquakes in central and northern California. The NCEDC also provides support for earthquake processing and archiving activities of the Northern California Earthquake Management Center (NCEMC), a component of the California Integrated Seismic Network (CISN). Located at the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory, the NCEDC is operated by the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory with support from the USGS.
If you use data from the NCEDC, we ask that you acknowledge the data center and the organizations that contributed the data by including the following citation, substituting in the contributing organization in the second sentence: “Waveform data, metadata, or data products for this study were accessed through the Northern California Earthquake Data Center. [Contributing organization] contributed this data to the NCEDC.” A table of contributing organizations can be found at the following URL: http://www.ncedc.org/acknowledge.html
