My understanding is that this DOI would be used as any other reference, which should be included in the list of references at the end. With a single DOI or one for each version, the version identification (ex. CF-1.7) would go explicitly in the bibliographic references section. In my lab, we explicitly write a line suggesting how to cite our DOIs.
About adopting multiple versions or not, it might be useful to distinguish between major versions, like someone that wants to refer that followed CF-1.X or CF-2. I don't have a strong opinion about adopting a DOI for each version, but at least one DOI is crucial to allow any metric of the scientific impact of the CF conventions. -- You are receiving this because you commented.
