Please ask Vishwas also to review species citations incl both original source names as well as generated GBIF backbone names:
http://portaldev.gbif.org/species/2478487
http://portaldev.gbif.org/species/124845582
http://portaldev.gbif.org/species/111298544
The Catalogue of Life version of that genus for example is not correct currently:
http://portaldev.gbif.org/species/126816557
It needs to be a 3 parted citation with the CoL, the source GSD and if existing the latest scrutifier alias accordingTo.
For example "Petersen A.P." for http://portaldev.gbif.org/species/119127855

GBIF recommended guidelines for (a) resource owners or custodians or data publishers and (b) for users of data through GBIF portal are provided in the document available at http://www.gbif.org/orc/?doc_id=4659&l=en. It is a matter of implementing these strings so that part of the resource citation is generated automatically, and also the user citation is generated automatically.
Suggest that we have a brief meeting with the developer dealing with implementation of this - so that rationale and ways or approaches to 'build string' can be elaborated. I suggest that we schedule a meeting to discuss this.

Recommendation after consultation with Donald for initial implementation, pending further developments on citation:
For Occurrence detail AND Dataset detail pages:
HOW TO CITE:
: , (accessed via GBIF portal, /dataset/UUID, on xx/xx/xxxx)
e.g. Artdatabanken: Artdata, 2013 (accessed via GBIF portal, www.gbif.org/dataset/38b4c89f-584c-41bb-bd8f-cd1def33e92f, on 30/09/2013)
I see no urgent need to change the current recommended citations on species pages.
Author: mdoering@gbif.org
Comment: Any citation change to species pages, in particular if they come from a non GBIF backbone source?

Well, I think it is quite critical for records from the catalogue of life at least.
I am going to implement a hack that will comply to their requirements citing all 3 main parties involved on their side: the CoL itself, the actual GSD source and also the individual taxonomist that did the work aka the latest scrutinizer.
Author: thirsch@gbif.org
Comment: OK you have specialist knowledge of that side so I am happy for you to proceed

Update: For the Catalog of Life a species page like http://portaldev.gbif.org/species/125867898 now reads:

Comment: That seems fine Markus. Once Kyle has implemented the dataset citation change we can close this issue.

Just for the record. I have been looking at dataset citations in the registry and roughyl a third is either temporary crap or a cryptic collection code. Things like:
- (see website)
- http://www.antweb.org/
- In progress
- NMMNH
Alternatively we could provide both the GBIF and the original citation, does that make any sense at all?

Change committed last night by Markus: https://code.google.com/p/gbif-portal/source/detail?r=2392
See this example page showing the 2 citations (auto-generated and user-supplied): http://portaldev.gbif.org/dataset/3f8a1297-3259-4700-91fc-acc4170b27ce#legal
It has been suggested we change "PUBLISHER WISHES TO BE CITED AS" to "Citation provided by publisher"
Please provide your feedback, and we'll change accordingly. Thanks

Agree with the suggested change of wording.
One remaining issue with the example given: the url for the dataset appears not to be clickable
Author: kbraak@gbif.org
Comment: Can I please confirm this is desired, since the url would just link to the same page. Thanks

OK good point - and I guess if anyone cuts and pastes it will automatically generate a url. So ignore that, keep as it is.
Sorry

No problems.
One more issue. The section heading name "Usage & legal issues" has likely been agreed upon (see http://portaldev.gbif.org/dataset/3f8a1297-3259-4700-91fc-acc4170b27ce#legal )
I have received a proposal to change this to "Citation and licensing". Should we keep the old heading, or change it? Thanks
Author: thirsch@gbif.org
Comment: Can I ask who the request was from? I agree the suggested wording is better - I am not aware of discussion of the previous wording.

Happy to change that - its in the new macro in a single place now.
There is also a section "rights" that could show up in case the EML has some IPRights given or the individual occurrence or secies record has that
Author: mdoering@gbif.org
Comment: Ok, applied both "Citation provided by publisher" and "Citation and licensing" now, keeping the URL as plain text

Closing this issue as the Canadensys one is fixed, and the decision is made to leave occurrence and species pages untouched.
The Canadensys example now shows the same as the IPT and the data paper:
GBIF portal: http://portaldev.gbif.org/dataset/3f8a1297-3259-4700-91fc-acc4170b27ce#legal (this will be intermittently available today due to releases)
Canadensys IPT: http://data.canadensys.net/ipt/resource.do?r=vascan
Data paper: http://www.pensoft.net/journals/phytokeys/article/3100/database-of-vascular-plants-of-canada-vascan-a-community-contributed-taxonomic-checklist-of-all-vascular-plants-of-canada

Comment: Please open new specific issues for Citation problems instead of reopening this issue, and provide specific links to external documents for example.
