How should I reference published CSD data in my paper?

Solution

​We recommend that the CSD Refcode (entry ID) is included in the body of your paper in the style CSD-REFCOD, and that the original publication where the structure was published is cited in your references section.

We also recommend that our general citation to the CSD is included in the reference section:
