For academic papers that use geoBoundaries in analysis, we ask that you cite our
PLoS One Publication. We recommend the below citations, but feel free to adapt
to your own citation style.

When using geoBoundaries on the web, we ask that you put the name
"geoBoundaries" with a link back to this website, www.geoboundaries.org,
somewhere (prominent if possible!) on the page that uses the boundaries. This
can be a stand-alone link or within a sentence. For example, any of the below
would be acceptable:
Using the <a href= 'https://www.geoboundaries.org'>geoBoundaries</a> database, we constructed a time-series illustrating how under 5 child mortality has shifted over time.

When using geoBoundaries on a map produced by leaflet, we ask that you add a
link to geoBoundaries in the leaflet attributes. For example:
var map = L.map('map').setView([51.505, -0.09], 13);
L.tileLayer(
'http://{s}.tile.osm.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png',
{attribution:
'<a href="www.geoboundaries.org">geoBoundaries</a>'}
).addTo(map);
