How to publish code for a CLIMADA-paper

This file provides an overview of the steps to take when publishing code corresponding to a peer-reviewed CLIMADA article or technical paper. The intended audience is the authors of the given code and paper. Please make sure to follow the steps carefully so the information is correct and your code easily accessible.

• Create your own GitHub repository to store the code
• Upload all relevant code
• Add a readme file with all the information necessary to replicate your analysis, including which CLIMADA version was used
• Make a Zenodo release
• Update the paper overview climada_papers_overview.md in the climada_papers repository with the paper DOI and the code DOI from Zenodo (create a new row on top of the existing table)

DOI attribution

For scientific publications, it is often required to provide a DOI linking to the used code and/or data. The purpose of this repository is to gather precisely the code of published work that used CLIMADA.

Proposal: make a DOI with Zenodo for the entire repository.

• Each time a new work is added, a new release is made which is associated with a new DOI
• There is also a common single DOI for all the releases of the CLIMADA_papers repository

Question: how to set the authorship of the DOI?

1. Add all the authors of all the papers in the repository?
2. The person that adds a contribution must specificy who should be listed as author of the code.

Question: what account should manage the Zenodo account?

1. David?
2. A group account? with for instance a [email protected]

Issues:

• The author list might get very large
• The authorship between papers becomes mixed
• Single code does not get a single DOI, but the DOI is always for the whole CLIMADA_papers repository.
• The number of included papers might become very large too if the use of CLIMADA grows quickly and then finding one code in the project folder might become too cumbersome.
