Usage Notes

据此 is a formal, written connective that links a preceding set of facts, evidence, or conditions to a subsequent conclusion, decision, or action. It is closely related to 因此 (therefore/consequently) and 由此 (from this/hence), but 据此 more specifically means "using the preceding as the basis" for the following action or judgment.

据此 appears frequently in legal documents, official reports, academic papers, and news articles. It is more precise than the colloquial 所以 (so/therefore), making it appropriate for formal written contexts at B2 and above.

Memory Hook

据 (according to/based on) + 此 (this) — 据此 is "based on this," using what was just stated as the foundation for what follows.
