archive on Zenodo?

[d70-t]

Do we want to archive gribscan on Zenodo? - We'd be able to get a DOI for this project then, but do we want this?

If we do, we could do this similar to eurec4a/eurec4a-intake#147, where the details for filling out the required forms are stored in .zenodo.json.

Currently, the contributors are @lkluft, @trackow and @d70-t. In case we do want to publish this on Zenodo, everyone would have to fill out their information in the creators object. See docs here.

I would say yes, as I would like to cite your work somehow in the nextGEMS paper, and is easiest with a DOI :)

[lkluft]

I would argue that it is easiest with a commit id 😉 But I agree that scientists have a hard time to accept that, which might justify the creation of a DOI to prevent tedious discussions during reviews.

What about this semi-automatic way?

Sure, if anything than that one.

We do have a CITATION.cff file at the top level or our repo. The Zenodo FAQs state that, if this file is present, they "make a best-effort attempt at parsing Zenodo-compatible metadata from it". So I would suggest that we update the file (@d70-t ORCiD is missing, @trackow needs to add himself) and setup a pipeline; and whatever metadata finds its way is there (authors and ORCiDs are amongst them).

[d70-t]

I've added my ORCID to the draft PR #37, and cleaned up the file a bit. Open questions left:

• do we want author's affiliations?
• are we happy with the abstract (currently "Build indices and datasets from GRIB files.")
• we should add the DOI (I'd go for the collection DOI only) to CITATION.cff, but we can only to that once we've got a first release out at Zenodo.

I've enabled this repository in Zenodo, so as soon as we've got a new Release here, it should also appear on Zenodo.

With #38 we should now also get the version correct upon a release...
