How to Cite the Asian Transport Observatory (ATO)

ATO (Asian Transport Observatory) provides access to a wide range of transport-related datasets in Asia and the Pacific. It serves as a portal, data compiler, and publisher. Use the guidance below to cite ATO data appropriately based on how it was used. This guidance is based on the core principle that what gets used gets cited.

Mention the original data source (e.g., UNstats, IEA) in your methodology or footnote, but cite ATO as the dataset you used.
