Citation

If you need to reference RegiStream in a paper, replication package, or software bibliography, here are the forms we provide. Use whatever is relevant to your work.

Project

Project-level citation:

Clark, J. & Wen, J. (2024–). RegiStream: Infrastructure for Register Data Research. https://registream.org

Each client ships a version-pinned cite command:

. registream cite                    // Stata
python -m registream cite            # Python
rs_cite()                            # R

Catalog data

Each per-domain catalog page (e.g. /catalog/scb) has a "Cite this data" block pre-filled with the latest version of that domain. Use that if your paper needs to reference a specific metadata snapshot.

BibTeX

@software{clark2024registream,
  author  = {Clark, Jeffrey and Wen, Jie},
  title   = {{RegiStream: Infrastructure for Register Data Research}},
  year    = {2024--},
  url     = {https://registream.org}
}

The version field is filled in by each client's cite_bibtex() at call time — copy from your local client if you need a version-pinned entry.
