(maybe describing a standard or a practice) was put out and thus endorsed by the program and not just by a set of individuals.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We're having some discussions at NCAR about the relative merits of listing individual authors names vs a collective author name for a group. The ESIP data citation recommendations V2 indicate that both are acceptable. I generally understand
the rationale for both: individuals like to see their name and can potentially get credit more easily if their individual name is listed. On the other side, collective names bypass issues of "who is an author", which as you all know are difficult and situational
to resolve.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">My question for all of you is: How common is it to use collective/organizational names as authors in data citations, instead of individual names? Do you (or your organization) list collective names? If so, is it your typical practice,
or an exception?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for any insight,<o:p></o:p></p>
