Hello Bioconductor,
We have added DOI's for packages on Bioconductor package landing
pages. The DOI will get generated automatically when a package is
accepted to Bioconductor. This is the recommended reference to use for
publication/citations/etc. The DOI link should automatically redirect
to the current release version of a package (or devel if the package
is not yet in release).
Thank you for this.
Are there any plans to add the DOI to the DESCRIPTION file and
automatically include it to the default citation() output?
This first part of this came up before. Any field can be added to the
DESCRIPTION file so one could add DOI:..., but since they are easily
generated by paste0("https://doi.org/doi:10.18129/B9.bioc.";,
<package_name>) there seems to be limited utility.
I haven't looked, in detail, at what citation() does, and whether there
is scope for modifying this to accept and format arbitrary (or
particular) additional fields; it would be a topic for R-devel if there
was enough interest here.
An existing alternative is to provide a CITATION file with the
appropriate information, e.g., with citEntry() accepting argument
doi="10.17129/B9.bioc.YOUR_PACKAGE".
