Adopt CFF format for citation of Econ-ARK

[llorracc]

At the PASC19 meetings in Zurich, one of the presenters in the session on managing open source scientific software advocated that projects abide by the CFF format in addition to Zenodo

@llorracc, should we update the citation instructions on the website? If so, let's ping @DrDrij.

We will need to update the citation instructions on the website (with the help of @DrDrij) but I'm guessing that we will need to make some choices about how to do things before @DrDrij will be able to know how to revise the paper.

Andrij, has QuantEcon done anything with the CFF format? Do you know anything about it? It seems to be a strongly emerging standard (when I looked into this a couple of years ago there wasn't anything that looked like a standard, but several of the presentations at PASC endorsed it independently).

What choices do we need to make?

[llorracc-git]

I don't know -- haven't had time to investigate it yet. Presenters said there is some way to integrate the cff files with Zotero and Zenodo. Not sure how that works.

Yes, happy to make amendments with guidance!

I hadn't heard of this specific CFF before! CFF for me was a font format to do with PDFs :) QuantEcon isn't using anything specific for dynamic for citations. References in their lecture series use bibtex labels in the source RST files: https://github.com/QuantEcon/lecture-source-py#adding-references

Reading through https://citation-file-format.github.io/ it appears easy enough to implement and just adds another layer of metadata that can be captured. It looks like it will work alongside our Zenodo entries. Would you like me to add a CFF for HARK?

And where is the bibliography file that you use? Obviously :cite:`StokeyLucas1989` requires that some bibfile exists containing the full reference ...

[DrDrij]

@llorracc Here is the QuantEcon bibfile: https://github.com/QuantEcon/lecture-source-py/blob/master/source/_static/quant-econ.bib

[llorracc-git]

Great, thanks. Do you know of an automated way to sync from this into Zotero? If not, I'll just import it -- I want to integrate our citations with QuantEcon's as much as possible.

What's the status of this, @llorracc, @DrDrij? It seems like Andrij's got this well in hand and it isn't a task for someone to work on at a sprint.

[llorracc]

@shaunagm @DrDrij,

I should have split the last item, about finding a way to automatically sync a bib file into Zotero, into a separate issue, because it has basically nothing to do with the original topic of the thread.

You're probably right that the first issue is in @DrDrij's court and it is not clear there is anything useful to do in a sprint.
