Where should .bib exist in this REMARK repo? #82

Closed MridulS closed 4 years ago

The BibTeX entry could be of the REMARK or of the original paper.

IMO if a BibTeX entry exists it should exist inside the REMARK itself rather than here (the REMARKs index).

@llorracc Thoughts?

Good question, made more complicated by the fact that the REMARK itself needs to be able to have an independent bibfile of its own. So, I think we need to require that there should be two bib or CFF files. Maybe they should be in an "About-Metadata" directory. If REMARKname is the name of the remark, then one of them should be [REMARKname].bib, like CGMPortfolio.bib. The other should be a bibtex cite handle for the paper being referenced, like blanchardAEA.bib for the Blanchard presidential address.

Ideally there should be both CFF and bib files. But, because CFF is a new format designed explicitly to handle online content in a machine-readable way, I think we should require a CFF file for the REMARK itself, and a bib file for the paper being replicated. A bib file for the REMARK itself is optional, and a CFF for the referenced paper is optional.

Yeah both of them can live in the REMARK itself. @llorracc I have started building up the template at https://github.com/econ-ark/REMARK-template , we should finalise the required/optional structure of REMARK out there.
