How to Cite This Data

Journalists, researchers, teachers and bloggers cite our travel-safety data every day. Pick a country (or the whole dataset), then copy a ready-made citation — plain text, a website link, Markdown, or an academic format.

What you're citing

Every score here comes from an open dataset: daily-updated safety scores for 240+ countries, aggregated from 40+ public sources including government advisories, the World Bank, INFORM and the Global Peace Index. Free under Creative Commons BY-NC 4.0. Because it updates daily, always include the date you accessed it.
