Referencing and Citing HerpMapper Data

Please note that HerpMapper requests that Partners contact HerpMapper directly to discuss publication and sharing of these data to meet your needs while also best protecting herpetofauna populations. This also ensures that multiple organizations do not attempt to publish the same new and updated county records in Herpetological Review geographical distribution notes, etc.

HerpMapper encourages project Partners and other data users to credit or cite data used in the following formats:
