Citing a Specific Incident

Every incident has its own suggested citation that credits both the submitter(s) of the incident and the editor(s) of the incident. The submitters are the people that submitted reports associated with the incident and their names are listed in the order in which their submissions were added to the AIID. Since reports can be added to an incident record through time, our suggested citation format includes the access date. You can find incident citations at https://incidentdatabase.ai/cite/INSERT_NUMBER_HERE.

Snapshot Downloads

Weekly point-in-time dumps of the full database, available in JSON, MongoDB archive, and CSV formats. Please contact us to let us know what you are using the database for so we can list your work and ensure your use case is not dropped from support. Best for developers and researchers building on the raw database.

Excel Export

An Excel file, updated weekly, that combines all numbered incidents with many of their taxonomy classifications. Suitable for analysis and research; updated every Monday. No coding required — download and open directly in Excel or Google Sheets. Not all relationships can be modeled in spreadsheet form. If the spreadsheet does not provide the data you require, we recommend working with the MongoDB snapshots.
