Licence and citation

The CC BY 4.0 licence covers the editorial compilation of FeedstockData: the selection of records, their description, unit conversions, weights, weighted means, statistics and texts. You may copy and process it, crediting “FeedstockData” with a link to the substrate page.

The numerical values themselves come from the publications listed in the bibliography and from the databases and repositories described below — the licence of the compilation does not change the rights to those sources. In scientific work, cite the original publication of each record (the source identifier is in the source_id column of the CSV file) and, where applicable, the database.

Source databases and repositories

Some records come from public databases and repositories. Their terms apply independently of the licence of the compilation. When citing a record, give the original publication and the database; the record identifier in the database is in the db_ref column of the CSV files.
