Safety Data Sheets
The elements to be included in an SDS citation are:
Software & Program Code
Software - standalone programs that do not require any special programming environment for their use.
Program code - code modules or scripts that are not included with standard software and are designed to be run as part of a larger programming environment, for example. R, Python, Excel, etc.
Any software or program code used during your research, such as to generate or analyse data, should be referenced.
Technical Reports & Bulletins
Include the report number if there is one, and pagination if applicable.
Italicise the report title, unless it is part of a larger work. If so, the title of the larger work is italicised instead (as if citing a book chapter).
