Data Citation guidelines for data providers and data users describes how and why to properly cite data, but another important enforcement encouragement for good citation practices are having reviewers and editors check for proper citation usage.

We can develop some stock article submission language that editors could include in the submission guidelines for their journals.

When a paper is submitted to a journal, the editor should look for proper data citations, we can develop a form letter to return to authors in the case where there are not citations.

Need guidelines in instructions to reviewers.

References should provide clear linkage to the data (e.g. persistent identifier)

W3C standard on task types. How are citations actually used? Give examples. This helps with justification. Need to consider issues of micro-citation in particular.

Paper reviewers should go even further, following data citations and determining if the data are actually obtainable, we can develop some stock verbiage that could be provided back to authors in that case too.
