Styles and formats for citing data vary in the same way article citation styles and formats vary, and specific journals may have specific requirements. According to the SLU Harvard style, a standard data citation/reference is written as follows:
Last name, first name initial. (Year). Title of dataset. Data repository. Version nr. Persistent link
