Mention CFF in Citation episode

Open tobyhodges opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

How could the content be improved?

Citation File Format has been widely adopted as a way to describe how software should be cited. The details of the CFF spec are beyond the scope of this lesson, but I think a specific reference to the format and brief description of some of its benefits/usage would be warranted.

Which part of the content does your suggestion apply to?

Could this content be reusable here: https://the-turing-way.netlify.app/communication/citable/citable-cite#citing-software

Stephan Druskat drafted this with some folks in The Turing Way.

Thanks @malvikasharan we will need to keep it really brief here. Unfortunately, the episodes in the latter half of this lesson are usually taught under time pressure, or even skipped altogether. But I think reusing at least some of that content would be great, and we can link out to the TTW page for sure 💯

#1024 proposes a solution, do you all agree with the proposed changes?
