Add: how to cite pyOpenSci content to our handbook

[danielskatz]

It would be nice if the handbook (and the website) said how to cite PyOpenSci. If it does now, I can't find it. Also, if a citation I could use immediately could be given here, I would appreciate it. I guess my fallback would be to cite the handbook on zenodo, but I wonder if there's something better.

Hi @lwasser, I know you're traveling for SciPy, but wanted to call this to your attention. If you have a moment to share how you'd like pyOS cited in this issue, I can update the handbook accordingly. Thanks!

hey there @danielskatz @kierisi i'm sorry i missed this. Dan - it's nice to see you here!! ✨

i've been traveling and this issue fell through the cracks!! @danielskatz we have zenodo DOI's for many of our online resources (but maybe not all of them yet)

packaging guide is here: https://zenodo.org/records/10840150 on the guidebook home page! i just checked our peer review guide and it's actually the wrong doi listed on the home page.

it looks like we have some updating and documenting to work on.

to try to help you directly with your question - do you want a citation link for a specific resource? if that is the case i can provide that . fix the right guidebook if that is needed.

as a next step for us i think we need to turn this issue into a task where we have a page on how to cite pyOpenSci (and while writing that page we can make sure all of our doi references are up to date and also documented in the handbook).

thank you for this issue! i hadn't considered a handbook page on this but it makes a lot of sense to have that page and to link to it from our website!

Hi @lwasser

Honestly at this point this doesn't matter to me any longer, as I used something for this. 🙂

But for the future, I think it would be useful if the main webpage included "how to site this project" info somewhere. Where and what this should be is completely up to you...

Ok great feedback! Thank you! I have edited the title of this issue and will plan to add a page on citation and a link from the website to that page!
