citation metrics that we rely on to advance our careers. It goes without
saying that, like everyone who contributes, we remain very much in
agreement of the altruistic nature of open-source software and the
community around it. But on this particular point it would be great if
we could somehow inject an extra dose of pragmatism without upsetting
the spirit in which the contributions are made in the first place.
I think you unnecessarily worry about this. We do want that everyone who
deserves credit gets credit. It's good for all if it's good for one,
because it encourages people to contribute.
The challenge is to find ways to make it happen in practice. I would
definitely support putting a link or note at the top of every tutorial
and code gallery page that explains how to cite the program if we had a
way to create DOIs for each of them. In other words, if you do find a
way to make that happen, I'll write the patch to put in the note!
Cheers
