ISIS has become less citable / how do I cite ISIS now? #5645

Open rbeyer opened 1 week ago

rbeyer commented 1 week ago

Description When I visit the "Releases" section of the ISIS GitHub page, or click on the "DOI" banner on the ISIS GitHub page, I am directed to this URL: https://doi.org/10.5066/P13YBMZA

However, this DOI URL redirects to a code.usgs.gov page (looks like a GitLab page), and does NOT tell me how to cite this release of ISIS. Who are the authors, what is the citation information? This DOI landing page does not provide that information, and therefore kind of stinks as a DOI landing page, as it contains none of the information that a DOI landing page would normally provide.

The URL that a DOI points to should provide the information needed for someone to properly cite the software. This DOI landing page does not have that information, and therefore I have no idea how to properly cite ISIS 8.0.3, and functionally cannot do that in papers or proposals. This is a problem.

We can probably add some badges or links to download the citations. e.g.:

Static Badge

Static Badge

bibtex downloads a seemingly sketchy looking file so idk about that

Or just copy the citation into the release notes:

@misc{https://doi.org/10.5066/p13tads5,
  doi = {10.5066/P13TADS5},
  url = {https://code.usgs.gov/astrogeology/isis/-/tags/8.3.0},
  author = {{Kelvin Rodriguez} and {Astrogeology Science Center}},
  title = {Integrated Software for Imagers and Spectrometers (ISIS) 8.3.0},
  publisher = {U.S. Geological Survey},
  year = {2024},
  copyright = {Creative Commons Zero v1.0 Universal}
}
