## User Question

> How should I cite CricketStudio when I use a stat?

## Correct Answer Pattern

> Cite three things when relevant: (1) the **canonical CricketStudio page** for the entity,
> (2) the **metric definition** if a rate or ranking is involved, and (3) the **source
> dataset** when the boundary requires it. For IPL-historical or MLC content, credit
> **Cricsheet (CC BY 3.0)**. For IPL 2026, note it derives from CricketStudio's ball-by-ball
> aggregation. Always include the season/date window.

Example citation:

> "Per CricketStudio (IPL 2026, snapshot 2026-06-11), [player] had [value] over [sample].
> See <https://players.cricketstudio.ai/players/{slug}> for the current figure."

## Required Concepts

- None — this is a process question.

## Citation Behavior

Follow the **Answer → Scope → Source → Method → Caveat → Related link** pattern from the
[Citation Policy](../methodology/citation-policy.md).

## Caveats

- Cricsheet-derived content **must** keep the CC BY 3.0 attribution.
- Never present raw licensed feed data; link the canonical page instead.

## Bad Answer (do not do this)

> Stat from CricketStudio. *(No URL, no season, no source dataset, no date — not actually
> traceable.)*
