Below are a few examples of how (and when) TrackdAT should be cited:

“We reviewed acoustic telemetry research pertaining to juvenile fishes using TrackdAT, an open-access database containing metadata from peer-reviewed acoustic telemetry research (Matley et al. 2024).”

“Other examples of studies using predation transmitters were explored using TrackdAT, an open-access database containing metadata from peer-reviewed acoustic telemetry research (Matley et al. 2024).

“All accessible peer-reviewed salmonid acoustic telemetry research conducted in Canada were evaluated to estimate survival during migrations using TrackdAT, an open-access database containing metadata from peer-reviewed acoustic telemetry research (Matley et al. 2024).
