What's the optimal way to track citations of the book? I'm not sure.

It would be easy to attach DOIs to specific tagged releases. But these DOIs would point to the source repository, not to the book itself.

Need to look around to see how other people are handling this.

Out of curiousity have you considered the Journal of Open Source Education? https://jose.theoj.org/

@ali-ramadhan the climlab software engine already has a meta-paper in JOSS. Does it make any sense to publish a separate paper about this book? I'm not clear on that.

Hmmm, I'm not an editor at either journal but I feel like a JOSS paper is about the software while the ClimateLaboratoryBook is a separate effort to create open-source educational material. From reading their websites, I get the feeling that this book deserves a JOSE paper if someone were to submit one.

At Project Pythia we converged on a Zenodo-based solution for issuing DOIs for Pythia Cookbooks. I should do the same here.

Separately, I would also like to write a short meta-paper about the book for JOSE. On the to-do list!

Hi! First of all, thank you for your work. It has been of great help for my thesis. Now that I'm finishing it, it seems to me that you should index it on Google Scholar, ResearchGate, etc. However, you should index the book itself, not the code. For books, I'm not sure if the DOI is that important. I want to cite a specific chapter, for example, and not the source code of the book. Also, you could try to obtain an ISBN code for your book, at least for a limited edition of it. In my country, for I know, the process is not expensive at all. Thanks again for this very educational work!
