Add Zenodo DOI #318

Open drchriscole opened 2 years ago

Hi,

We're regular users of WhiteRabbit and are currently writing papers which involve your tools. It would be great to be able to reference them properly, however, a github url is not really the best option as it loses a lot of relevant information.

A Zenodo DOI would be really helpful for citing and I suggest would be useful for you to track the usage metrics of your tools. I've done this many times and genuinely only takes about 10 minutes. https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/archiving-a-github-repository/referencing-and-citing-content

I hope you consider this suggestion. Best regards.

Another (GitHub-native) option: GitHub citation files https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/about-citation-files

@alepev if you read the Github link, you should still have a doi in the citation file, so arranging a Zenodo DOI first makes sense. You can reference both a specific github release or a generic github project with Zenodo. For more on Zenodo Github integration, see https://help.zenodo.org/#github.
