Cite a public item

Download BibTeX, RIS, or Schema.org JSON-LD for a public catalogue item.

basic

When an item is shared as Public, anyone can cite it. Open the item, go to the Metadata tab, and use the Cite menu to download:

  • BibTeX (.bib) for LaTeX and most reference managers
  • RIS (.ris) for EndNote, Zotero, and similar tools
  • Schema.org JSON-LD for structured web metadata

The same files are available without signing in:

GET /api/public/ogc/citation/{item-id}.bib
GET /api/public/ogc/citation/{item-id}.ris
GET /api/public/ogc/citation/{item-id}.jsonld

What goes into the citation

  • Title, description, and license from the item
  • Author from the owner's display name (or the organization name when no owner name is set)
  • Year from the item's created date
  • URL pointing at the portal item page
  • The item's UUID as a durable identifier

GratisGIS does not mint DOIs. If you need a DOI, register one with your preferred agency and put that URL in the item description or license field until a dedicated DOI field exists.
