How to cite CLB resources

All data from the Czech Literary Bibliography are available to all users online and free of charge in open access mode. Users are required to cite the Czech Literary Bibliography as a source.

Your attributions of the CLB research infrastructure help improve our performance in evaluations and reviews. This in turn allows us to develop more CLB tools for end users. Please be sure to consistently acknowledge your use of the CLB resources and services in your work including academic and more general publications and presentations.

All research and development work produced using the CLB research infrastructure must be recorded in the Czech Information Register of R&D Results as a matter of law. If you are an international researcher, please contact the CLB so that we may register your work on your behalf: clb@ucl.cas.cz.
