Get a DOI for the package

[natema]

We can ask a DOI on Zenodo, so that we can make it possible for people to cite the software if they use it in some project, as we did for WorldDynamics: https://github.com/worlddynamics/WorldDynamics.jl#how-to-cite-this-work .

[meyde]

so how do Zenodo works? i'm a bit confused

[natema]

I don't remember by heart, but it shouldn't be hard to follow the online documentation: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/archiving-a-github-repository/referencing-and-citing-content .

[meyde]

i can only register repository that i own, for the one in an organisation, there is a need to authorize something in the organisation side

"If your organization's repositories do not show up in the list, please ensure you have enabled third-party access to the Zenodo application. Private repositories are not supported."

(and the repo indeed does not appear)

[natema]

I don't see how to enable that.

[natema]

I managed to give Zenodo access to the repo. As soon as the first release is out (#27), we can get a DOI.

[natema]

Zenodo already generated the DOI for the project: https://zenodo.org/account/settings/github/repository/worlddynamics/Vensim2MTK.jl . Feel free to do a PR adding the badge and the how-to cite on the README.

[meyde]

i'm writing the how-to-cite by looking at the examples written in the other modules in worlddynamics, and i have a question: in @software{pierluigi_crescenzi_2022_7093581, ....
Should i change this name to yours? and with what id to follow?

[natema]

The id is arbitrary, you can make it up, e.g. vensim2mtk_2023.

[meyde]

alright
