I think we should consider use the data archiving tool Zenodo and get a DOI for zpp so it can be cited in papers.https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/archiving-a-github-repository/referencing-and-citing-content

Thanks @chengzhuzhang. I suppose we should do this for zstash too.

Does this apply DOIs to previous releases or would it only be going forward?

chengzhuzhang commented 2 weeks ago

I think new DOIs will be issued each time a new GitHub release is made, I guess we don't need to worry about previous releases in this case.

Good to have DOIs for both zstash and zppy since we don't have a way to cite at this point.
