GUIDELINES FOR CITATION OF DATA
With the goal of mutual benefit, the National Center for Health Statistics
(NCHS) requests that recipients of data files cooperate in certain actions
related to their use.
Any published material derived from the data should acknowledge NCHS as the
original source. The suggested citation to appear at the bottom of all
tables is as follows:
Source: National Center for Health Statistics (1991)
When cited in a bibliography, the suggested citation should read:
National Center for Health Statistics (1992). Public Use File
Documentation, National Health Interview Survey of Unintentional
Injuries, 1991 (machine readable data file and documentation),
National Center for Health Statistics, Hyattsville, Maryland
The published material should also include a disclaimer that credits any
analyses, interpretations, or conclusions reached to the author (recipient
of the data file) and not to NCHS, which is responsible only for the initial
data. Consumers who wish to publish a technical description of the data
should make a reasonable effort to insure that the description is not
inconsistent with that published by NCHS.
