@tupui what do you think about the alternative - just making this a regular URL? I'm a fan of astrophysics, but I don't think this should be domain specific.

There is the url
keyword if a generic URL is desired. The adsurl
keyword is, by identity, for an ADS link.

I went ahead and added this field (url
) as well since it was previously not present.

Mmm I would remove this field entirely. The DOI is the real reference URL and we should not have to rely on any external/domain specific service.

@tupui @mdhaber I hear you guys about domain specificity, but in my opinion, more metadata is almost always a good thing (as long as it doesn't cause problems, which in this case it doesn't). Keep in mind that |
Sound like a fair point. @tupui you ok with that? |
Alright alright 😅 well and why not since the field was in fact already there. |
Go ahead for the merge if you agree Matt :) (I would do it but not 100% sure you are onboard) |
Thanks guys—cheers! 😀 |
Thanks to you for raising it 😃 |

What does this implement/fix?
The repository's CITATION.bib file currently defines a value for the
adsurl
key that is not, in fact, an ADS URL. The rdcu.be link that's currently there is not what LaTeX/BibTeX styles and formatters that look for and/or use entries'adsurl
keyword expect to find, and it's not the intended/generally accepted use of the keyword either. This PR corrects that, and provides a link to the publication's ADS page.Additional information
NASA's ADS (Astrophysics Data System) is a widely-used resource in the physics and astronomy scientific community. It is the "industry-standard" tool for searching/browsing scholarly works in the field. Many LaTeX bibstyles, including AASTeX, MNRAS, and A&A, give special treatment to the value associated with the
adsurl
keyword in BibTeX entries.
