How to use and cite the data
Cite a dataset of The SI Observatory by its citation ID and version, for example TSIO-D01-20261111, and credit "The SI Observatory, tsio.si" under CC BY 4.0. Every dataset page gives the citation in APA, BibTeX and RIS, a CITATION.cff file and Croissant metadata. Every chart below is a clean SVG with its source and license printed on it, ready for an article, a paper or Wikimedia Commons.
Using the data
Four rules for using the data well
Credit and link
CC BY 4.0 asks for credit: "The SI Observatory, tsio.si", a link to the dataset page and a note if you changed anything.
Check the source
Each dataset names its upstream sources. For a claim that matters, check the primary source too: the filing, the law, the transaction.
Keep third party terms
Market data from CoinGecko and DexScreener stays under their terms, job postings belong to the employers and SEC data is public.
Citation IDs
Every dataset and its current ID
The ID joins the permanent dataset number to the version date: TSIO-D07-20261111 is version 2026.11.11 of dataset 7. Every version keeps its own address under /data/<dataset>/v<version>/.

Questions
Citing, answered
How do I cite The SI Observatory?
Cite the dataset version you used, by its citation ID, for example: The SI Observatory. (2026). SI signals snapshot (Version 2026.11.11) [Data set]. https://tsio.si/data/si-signals/v2026.11.11/ (Citation ID TSIO-D01-20261111). Each dataset page gives the same citation in BibTeX and RIS.
Can I use the charts in my article or paper?
Yes, under CC BY 4.0 with credit to The SI Observatory, tsio.si. The source and license are printed on every chart.
What is a citation ID?
A short name for one fixed version of one dataset: TSIO-D, the dataset number, and the version date. It never points to different files later.
Is there a DOI?
Each version can be deposited with a DOI on a public archive. When a DOI exists, the dataset page lists it next to the citation ID.
