joss JOSS and ROR

trafficstars

If JOSS asked authors to use RORs to indicate their affiliations, we could pass them to Crossref and be a better member of the community, and it would also be easier for us to understand our authors.

We could also use RORs for editors and reviewers.

See https://github.com/openjournals/inara/issues/71 and https://github.com/openjournals/inara/pull/72. I was also thinking about this

@cthoyt & @xuanxu - We're now having problems accepting papers - see https://github.com/openjournals/joss-reviews/issues/6917#issuecomment-2331099794 for example. Is this problem tied to the ROR-related change?

Sep 05 '24 10:09 danielskatz

looking at it now. will give an update in 20-30 minutes

See https://github.com/openjournals/inara/pull/77, I think I've got a solution

👋 @xuanxu & @arfon - Can either of you check this and then potential merge it if that seems appropriate?

@cthoyt @tarleb – looks like we have a paper using RORs (yay!), but the paper formatting looks pretty janky (see the spacing between affiliations text): https://github.com/openjournals/joss-papers/blob/joss.07377/joss.07377/10.21105.joss.07377.pdf

Any thoughts on how this could be potentially improved?

yay! and, oh no!

I think this is an artifact of how I turned the ROR SVG into the latex commands. This was a bit of oversight on my part not trying with a more involved author list, but unfortunately when I was making changes to Inara, the diffs were very big and unruly, and I tried to minimize the document changes. I will take a second pass at this, and see if the bounding boxes in the latex commands can be adjusted :)

hi @arfon, thanks for being patient. I hope I wasn't holding up the daily JOSS grind. I've got a fix in https://github.com/openjournals/inara/pull/90 :)

Oct 22 '24 13:10 cthoyt

hi @arfon, we've merged the fix and made a new 1.1.2 release of Inara that includes it

JOSS should make use of the new version once this PR is merged: https://github.com/xuanxu/publishing-artifacts-action/pull/1
