How to cite a Kaggle dataset
Quick answer
Cite the uploader, the dataset title, the version number, and the Kaggle URL.
Why this one is tricky
Dataset uploaders may not be the data owners, and versions can be overwritten.
Example (APA 7)
Uploader, U. (2024). Dataset title (Version 3) [Data set]. Kaggle. https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/uploader/title
Most common mistake
Not noting the version — Kaggle datasets are mutable.
Citing a Kaggle dataset more than once?
