Hi all,

Apologies if this is off-topic, but this list is where my most informed and progressive sci-comp community lives... (so I'm happy to move this offlist)

I recently coordinated a program review in which about 8 different individuals presented progress updates of their work. We would like to publish the slide decks used in these presentations in some way that collects them together, and I see 3 different options using Figshare (or similar), and I'm looking for feedback on best practice, to the extent that there is any.

1. Create a single file from all the slide decks with a single DOI
    1. Should we publish this with many authors - all of the
       presenters?  Or with a small set of "editors" - like a journal
       volume - where each contribution could be referred to by its
       authors names and page number?
    2. This would require the effort of assembling the file (small) and
       assigning page numbers (non-trivial, tedious)
2. Create a single DOI with multiple files, one per presentation
    1. Similar questions to above about which authors get associated
       directly with the DOI
    2. This seems to be least effort
3. Create separate DOI's, one per presentation
    1. This seems to conform with a more standard attribution model but
       undermines the sense of collection
    2. This requires (?) individual authors to go through the process
       of publishing their presentation

Does anyone have additional strategies? Has anyone tried one of these? Are there subtle issues I have missed (since I've only ever generated a single DOI with Figshare)?

Thanks in advance,
Paul
