How to cite MAQ data

You can use the APA-style references below as a direct reference to the database/web page. Because we provide operational data, we can unfortunately not provide a DOI since the database is constantly updated. Currently, we are working on publishing reference papers for the three sites as well, once these are published in scientific journals, we will add them to the reference list below.
