[Cod-bugs] COD Distribution

[Antanas Vaitkus]

Dear Caitlin Bannan,

the COD is an open-access database which in turn means that all of its
structures may be downloaded, used and re-disseminated without restriction,
along with the results derived from them. It would be nice, however, if you
would cite the COD [1] or provide references back to the COD where relevant.

Also, see the following link [2] for the preferred ways of retrieving the
entire COD dataset.

Please do not hesitate to ask if you have any additional questions.

Sincerely,
Antanas Vaitkus
