Add information in the guide about R-Ladies Zenodo Community #79

Open BatoolMM opened 2 years ago

BatoolMM commented 2 years ago

The materials generated from R-Ladies are huge but scattered (and mostly uncitable) - not easily searchable. In order to increase the discoverability, visibility, re-usability and make the materials citable, we recommend creating a Zenodo Community for R-Ladies where they can link not just their materials from GitHub (with two extra clicks) but also slides presentations, PDF and any type of output created by R-Ladies to make it citable. Every entry can be tagged by R-Ladise chapter name, the level of the materials and any other related metadata. You can also add the materials under more than one community (e.g. R-Ladies + another community helped with session (e.g. LatinR) ..) to increase the visibility, if wanted. Zenodo also provide a matric showing the numbers of downloads and views.

After an initial approval in Slack, I created a Zenodo community for R-Ladies and added one entry from a workshop by Allison Horst. However, if we want to proceed with this step, we need instructions to be added to the R-Ladies guidebook, how does this sound?

The wonderful @flor14 is working with me on this as well!

Thank you!! Would you be able to make a PR to the guide?

BatoolMM commented 2 years ago

Sure, I wanted to open an issue before initiating the PR! BTW, where do you think it fits inside the guide - I was thinking it was inside organisers, but then I thought not only organisers should be able to add materials - even the global team or participants who represent R-Ladies in conferences? Do you think it's worth creating a new heading for it in the sidebar and then cross-referencing it in organisers, or maybe not?

You both have way more extensive knowledge about the structure of the guide, so thank you again!

Maybe organizers (https://guide.rladies.org/organization/events/promotion/?) but cross-linked from https://guide.rladies.org/comm/conferences/?

(I often have to use the search bar to find things in the guide myself :joy: :sob:)

Thanks, this makes more sense now!
