Hi Vero, all,
the DOI badge (and maybe a short explanation what can be done with it) should definitely be included in https://grass.osgeo.org/about/license/
However, to get a similar discoverablity effect as for PROJ, GDAL, etc. I would suggest to also put the the icon right under the GRASS logo which sits currently below VIEW GALLERY and LATEST NEWS.
This could even become a news item by itself .. ?
Best & happy Easter (if applicable),
Peter

Hi Peter,
I like the proposal, thanks!
Where in our website would you suggest to include the DOI badge? Our landing page is already a bit stuffed. This could be an option https://grass.osgeo.org/about/license/ as there's the citation there. What do you think?

Hello PSC,
I would like to propose to include the DOI icon (https://zenodo.org/badge/DOI/10.5281/zenodo.7764250.svg) for GRASS GIS on a prominent spot on the GRASS GIS project page (https://grass.osgeo.org/). This is should require little effort but will result in benefitial consequences and visibility for the project community and GRASS GIS applications across all fields of Science.
It's been over a year that a DOI was registered for GRASS GIS. Other projects, such as PROJ and GDAL have also registered DOI. While this is great in itself, preserving OSGeo projects as part of the scientific record, enabling scientific citation, etc., this has not yet been announced to the greater public.
In the meantime other projects such as PROJ, GDAL and Mapserver have already included their DOI icons in their web pages (e.g. https://gdal.org/).
It seems that this alone already suffices to motivate and enable scientists to give due credit to the sofware projects and the project communities by DOI-based citation, including hi-visibility journals such as Nature.
Here are two recent examples for GDAL:
[2023-1] Scientific Data: A 1.2 Billion Pixel Human-Labeled Dataset for Data-Driven Classification of Coastal Environments (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-023-01929-2) -> Reference #40
[2023-3] Environmental Research Communications: Validation of FABDEM, a global bare-earth elevation model, against UAV-lidar derived elevation in a complex forested mountain catchment (https://doi.org/10.1088/2515-7620/acc56d)
The benefits of DOI based citation are twofold: As stated, the software projects receive proper credit, but in addition we will better understand from the publication records where and for what GRASS GIS is put to use.
The code snippets for the GRASS GIS DOI are provided by the GRASS GIS landing page on Zenodo in HTML, markdown and other formats (right-click on the black/blue DOI icon on the right side of the page):
<a href="" href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7764250" target="_blank">https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7764250"><img src="" href="https://zenodo.org/badge/DOI/10.5281/zenodo.7764250.svg" target="_blank">https://zenodo.org/badge/DOI/10.5281/zenodo.7764250.svg" alt="DOI"></a>
[](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7764250)
Best,
Peter
