- +Citing references used is good research practice. It is also referred to as "​attribution"​ and is part of an open, transparent approach. In some cases, it is also required ​by a particular ​license, term of use, or access and use constraintDifferent ​licenses ​and requirements may have a particular preferred way of citation. However, even if a "​preferred"​ form is proposed ​by a product/producer, it is not always required and it is usually sufficient to use the OD preferred form, which is discussed [[editorial_style|here]].
