HI Paul - Looping in Mark Hahnel, too - founder of figshare and close collaborator on some of our DOI work in the past.
I’d personally recommend uploading the files individually, which will give them their own DOI, landing page, citable reference and metrics for each person’s work. That can be tremendously useful for the individual, despite being part of a greater project. Would then note in the metadata / info that they’re all pointing to the same project, create some standardized text for that. There is a means in figshare of creating a “collection” that could help group these items and any other data / code / contributions pertinent to this to aid with discovery. Mark - any other thoughts? - KT -- Kaitlin Thaney Director, Mozilla Science Lab @kaythaney ; @MozillaScience skype / IRC: kaythaney On Nov 19, 2014, at 11:35 AM, Paul Wilson <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > Apologies if this is off-topic, but this list is where my most informed and > progressive sci-comp community lives...
