  1. Huh, I must've missed the announcement.

    @swheritage is now providing citation metadata to download as and use via (biblatex-software) for archived software with a CITATION.cff file or codemeta.json in the root directory! 🎉

    Very cool!

  6. Want to leverage the advantages of the (richer metadata on Zenodo, GitHub integration, readable by open source reference managers) for research software that has already been published?

    You can export the metadata of an existing record to a CFF file 😍.

    (Pro tip: Rename the downloaded file to `CITATION.cff`.)

  7. @amoeba @JustinG Nothing published (or in fact done with it apart from counting) yet, but I have around 55k files for around 16k GitHub repositories, including historic versions (and their commit hashes).

  8. CW: Event announcement (#RSEng)

    📣 Byte-sized : Citation File Format (CFF)/cffinit 📣

    🕙️ Tuesday 19th March 2024, 10:00 - 11:00 GMT
    🌍️ Online, via Zoom
    🗣️ me & Abel Soares Siqueira (Netherlands eScience Center)

    - Intro to
    - interactive session using cffinit
    - demo how CFF is integrated with other tools (such as @zenodo_org)

    Registration: bit.ly/bytesize-rse-cff (Google Form)

  9. Very exciting to see that the open science curriculum recommends CITATION.cff files in the to provide and find the correct citation metadata for open research outputs 🚀!

    The course materials themselves have their own CITATION.cff file 😎.

  10. @dhernangomez @frod_san Thanks for taking over, @dhernangomez, I wouldn't have enough experience with #RStats packaging myself.

    What you've written makes sense, in that the packages serve different purposes, and can peacefully coexist 🙂.

    Just to add that use of #CitationFileFormat files isn't restricted to GitHub of course, but GitHub makes the most visible use of them. (They'd still be useful on another platform or in, say, a distributed zip file.)

  11. @frod_san Are you aware of the {cffr} #RStats package that produces CITATION.cff files for R? There seems to be some overlap, and perhaps there is value in letting the two interface with each other?

  12. If you already have a CITATION.cff file in the #CitationFileFormat and want a comfortable way to update (and validate) it to enable #SoftwareCitation, @abelsiqueira from the @eScienceCenter has created another great video that walks you through the process using the cffinit web tool. 😍

  13. Want to get started with #SoftwareCitation but don't know how?

    @abelsiqueira from the @eScienceCenter has created a great video that walks you through creating a CITATION.cff file in the #CitationFileFormat using the cffinit web tool. 😍

  14. Just learned that the cookiecutter4fair repository template (github.com/FAIR4HEP/cookiecutt) includes a template for CITATION.cff files in the #CitationFileFormat. Nice!

  15. CW: Software citation, recorded talk, #CitationFileFormat, #RSEng

    If you're interested in some preliminary insights into how the #CitationFileFormat is used in real life to make #ResearchSoftware citable, here's a video of my talk at #RSConUK, including an intro to what CFF is, and what platforms can work with it (hint: could be your #IDE via the JSON Schema).

  16. @eScienceCenter @TUEindhoven Suitably enough, I talked about the #CitationFileFormat today at @[email protected], presenting preliminary results from an analysis of 7k+ CFF files that show that using #cffinit to create your files helps greatly with file validity ✅.

  17. Excited to be on my way to an @NSF funded workshop on community-led data & software publishing in Pismo Beach, CA.

    I'll be wearing my #CitationFileFormat and #HERMES hats, and am looking forward to meet lots of people from great initiatives and projects for the first time, to discuss aims, ideas and collaborations to improve 💻 #SoftwarePublication.

    (Unfortunately, the weather doesn't look like I can sneak in a 🏄 session.)
