######################
Citation & Attribution
######################

This page provides guidelines for citing dsgrid and datasets produced using
the toolkit.

Citing the dsgrid Toolkit
=========================

When using the dsgrid toolkit in your research, please cite:

.. code-block:: bibtex

@software{dsgrid,
author = {NREL dsgrid Team},
title = {dsgrid: Demand-Side Grid Toolkit},
url = {https://github.com/dsgrid/dsgrid},
institution = {National Renewable Energy Laboratory}
}

Citing dsgrid Datasets
======================

Each published dataset has its own citation requirements. When using data from
a dsgrid project:

1. **Cite the specific dataset** using the DOI provided in the
:doc:`published datasets catalog </data/published-datasets>`

2. **Cite the dsgrid toolkit** (see above)

3. **Acknowledge underlying data sources** as appropriate (e.g., ResStock,
ComStock, TEMPO)

Example Dataset Citation
------------------------

.. code-block:: bibtex

@techreport{dsgrid_standard_scenarios_2024,
title = {Standard Scenarios 2024: Hourly Electricity Load Profiles},
author = {NREL dsgrid Team},
institution = {National Renewable Energy Laboratory},
year = {2024},
doi = {10.XXXX/XXXXX}
}

Acknowledging Underlying Data
=============================

dsgrid datasets typically integrate data from multiple sources. When using
dsgrid data, please also acknowledge the underlying data sources:

**ResStock**
Residential building energy model data. See
`ResStock documentation <https://resstock.readthedocs.io/>`_ for citation
requirements.

**ComStock**
Commercial building energy model data. See
`ComStock documentation <https://nrel.github.io/ComStock.github.io/>`_ for
citation requirements.

**TEMPO**
Transportation electrification projections. Contact the dsgrid team for
citation requirements.

**Other Sources**
Check the documentation for specific datasets for additional attribution
requirements.

License
=======

dsgrid is open-source software released under the BSD 3-Clause License.

Published datasets may have their own licensing terms. Check the documentation
for each dataset for specific license information.

Requirements and formats for contributing datasets to dsgrid projects.

Data Overview
=============

dsgrid manages multi-dimensional timeseries data describing electricity demand
and other energy metrics. Data is organized in a hierarchical structure:

**Projects**
Top-level containers that define scope (geography, time period, sectors)
and coordinate multiple datasets.

**Datasets**
Individual data contributions from various sources (models, surveys,
historical data) that are mapped to project dimensions.

**Derived Datasets**
Created by combining, transforming, or querying project datasets.

Data Dimensions
---------------

All dsgrid data is organized along these dimension types:

- **Geography**: Spatial resolution (counties, states, regions, etc.)
- **Time**: Temporal resolution (hourly, daily, monthly, annual)
- **Sector**: Economic sectors (residential, commercial, industrial, transportation)
- **Subsector**: Detailed categorizations within sectors
- **Metric**: What is being measured (energy, power, emissions, etc.)
- **Scenario**: Future pathways or policy scenarios
- **Model Year**: Projection years for forward-looking analysis
- **Weather Year**: Historical weather patterns used in simulations

See :doc:`Dimensions </explanations/components/dimensions>` for detailed documentation.

Data Access Patterns
====================

**For quick analysis:**
Download pre-computed datasets from the :doc:`published datasets <published-datasets>`
catalog.

**For custom queries:**
Use the dsgrid CLI or Python API to :doc:`query <querying-data>` specific data subsets.

**For data contribution:**
Follow the :doc:`input datasets <input-datasets/index>` guide to prepare and
submit your data.
