Not sure if there's a canonical way to cite a github repo, but it seems like it'll be a good idea for this repository. This is one example I took from here

Rivers C., Ebola, (2014), GitHub repository, https://github.com/cmrivers/ebola/

trying to make a doi reference to the repo using Mozilla's Code as a Research Object, should we add the GPL licence?

there's also this option

cmrivers commented 9 years ago

So the GPL License is needed to make a doi?

chendaniely commented 9 years ago

Just realized there's an 'other' option for licences that we can check off... so do not need to use GPL

I can't create the figshare button because it's not my repo :(

Figshare also allows for DOI referencing a repository, and now that this isn't being updated, it being tied to a specific hash is less of a problem than it might otherwise be.

The alternative is to write up the experience of doing this and try submitting it to a journal.

There was a related discussion I just had about minting a repository with a DOI
