+### Cite GRASS GIS and your geospatial data in scientific works - now with Digital Object Identifiers (DOI)!
+
+
+The GRASS GIS project celebrated its 40th birthday last year. Over the decades,
+GRASS GIS has spread around the globe and has enabled generations of researchers
+to conduct geospatial research in many fields of science.
+
+
+
+
+
+As a new feature, reflecting the current change towards data-driven science and
+the paradigms of **Open Science** (including Open Source) and the **FAIR** principles
+(Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable), GRASS GIS software can now be
+referenced by *Digital Object Identifiers (DOI)*. DOI are digital persistent
+identifiers to reference internet resources in scientific or official publications.
+DOI can be resolved in web browsers similar to web addresses (URL).
+While an URL will fail once the content is moved to another internet
+location, DOI will always point to the intended resource, which is a requirement
+for long term references in scientific works.
+
+DOI allow to reference the whole GRASS GIS project via a concept DOI
+() or particular software versions
+like the current [GRASS GIS 8.3.2](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10817962),
+or older versions going back to [GRASS GIS 7.8.6]().
+
+In addition, geospatial datasets for GRASS GIS can also be referenced by a DOI.
+See for example the Natural Earth GRASS dataset at .
+
+
+
+
+
+Since DOI can be interlinked by meta data, connected networks of GRASS GIS related
+resources can be established, linking code, data and additional information, such as
+video recordings about GRASS GIS. Well known examples are the
+GRASS GIS code [evolution video](https://doi.org/10.5446/14652),
+[conference recordings](https://doi.org/10.5446/55251) or the historic
+[USACERL GRASS GIS commercial from 1987](https://doi.org/10.5446/12963),
+narrated by William Shatner of Star Trek fame.
+
+These DOI features are based on an underlying integration of the current
+GRASS GIS code repository on GitHub with the Open Access repository
+[Zenodo](https://zenodo.org/), which is also based on Open Source.
+
+A GRASS GIS DOI link will always resolve to a landing page within the Zenodo
+repository, which is linked to the respective GutHub code repository. The
+landing pages in Zenodo include a convenient feature for scientific citation:
+The “Citation” section generates on the fly well formatted citation
+strings in thousands of citation styles.
