[OSM-legal-talk] How to cite OSM in Vancouver style

Hi all

I've used OSM in a report I contributed. The references are in the
Vancouver style.

I'm wondering how to
1. cite the database per Vancouver, and also
2. how to credit contributors.

Vancouver style for databases is as follows:
Investigator(s) names. Title of dataset [medium type]. Host institution
name/Producer: Physical location; Year of publication [Date accessed].
Available from: Identifier – DOI or URL

This below is what I've come up with - any thoughts as to whether it does
both 1. and 2. adequately?

OpenStreetMap contributors. OpenStreetMap database. OpenStreetMap
Foundation, Cambridge; 2021. [cited 22 Dec 2021]. © OpenStreetMap
contributors. Available under the Open Database Licence from:
openstreetmap.org. Data mining by Overpass turbo. Available at
overpass-turbo.eu.

Many thanks.

Edward
