What applies when publishing in a scientific article or report?
We are very interested in learning how data from the Swedish National Forest Inventory (NFI) is used. Therefore, we kindly ask that you include the term “Swedish NFI” in the abstract or keywords of any articles where data from the inventory is used. This ensures the material is searchable and traceable.
How should I cite data I have requested (custom data)?
