Handling Citations

[tjhei]

We should decide how we want ASPECT to be cited and advertise this decision. Inspired by SAGA (https://geodynamics.org/cig/projects/saga/).

How to cite:

• ASPECT paper
• ASPECT manual?
• DOI for each version? (problem: getting credit, splitting citations, no google scholar tracking ...)
• refer to other papers (free surface, melt migration, tracers)
• maybe even include other packages like deal.II? Trilinos?? etc.
• suggest acknowledgement section in each paper (like SAGA suggests: "We thank the Computational Infrastructure for Geodynamics (geodynamics.org) which is funded by the National Science Foundation under award NSF-0949446.")

How to advertise:

• ASPECT manual
• CITATION file in repo
• website: http://aspect.dealii.org/publications.html
• use SAGA website?
• create output/citation during a run (to include version numbers, git hash, and modules used), link to SAGA website with correct boxes checked? Local website with javascript?
• print something to the screen when running to point at one of the options above.

Steps:

1. Discuss how we want ASPECT to be cited
2. Discuss with SAGA group: @lkellogg @ljhwang
3. Decide whether to use the SAGA website
4. Implement actions

There is already section 1.1 "Referencing ASPECT" in the manual. It should be relatively easy to point users to it in the ASPECT start-up message at the top of the log file of every run.

Yes, ASPECT does a good job as it gives the bibtek. The next step would be information on versioning which may include DOIs

Best, -Lorraine

Yes, I know. I am just listing all current and potential locations to make sure that we update all of them.

@tjhei DOIs may not be used by google but they are used by most of the indexers and is something they are used to handling. What would google scholar need? How do people use it in context of discovery and credit for code?
