@mgrosjean Citing the DOI is a good idea. But citing a DOI for a dataset does not clarify whether the data items used in a study are the original data items or the GBIF-interpreted items.
While obviously it’s the responsibility of the data users to explain how the data were managed in their study, the GBIF-recommended citation form (see examples in the above blog post) attributes the data to the original data providers, which is incorrect because of GBIF interpretation, and not to the data publisher, which in all cases is GBIF.
GBIF has not yet come up with a way for users to make this distinction, and continues to confuse the two, as @dnoesgaard does when writing “acknowledges the data publishers whose work their papers rely on”.
