You might also cite our URL in the text of your paper:

For exploratory analysis, I used the PSLC DataShop, available at http://pslcdatashop.web.cmu.edu (Koedinger et al., 2010).

To cite a dataset for secondary analysis:

We encourage you to cite the dataset in the reference section of your paper, using this format:

Primary Investigator, Data Provider (date). Dataset name. Dataset dataset id in DataShop. Find it at http://pslcdatashop.web.cmu.edu/DatasetInfo?datasetId=dataset id

For example, to cite the Geometry Area (1996-97) dataset (which does not have a Data Provider), you would use:

Koedinger, Ken (1996). Geometry Area (1996-97). Dataset 76 in DataShop. Find it at http://pslcdatashop.web.cmu.edu/DatasetInfo?datasetId=76

In addition, you can determine if a citation or acknowledgement is given for the dataset you are using. Dataset-specific citation guidance can be found on the Citation page (Dataset Info > Citation) in DataShop.
