How to cite this course/repo? about scikit-learn-mooc HOT 6 CLOSED

Thanks for your kind words, it would be nice to add "how to cite this course" to the README indeed.

Having said that, I don't really know how other course repos manage this kind of thing. Suggestions more than welcome!

I am aware of this https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/archiving-a-github-repository/referencing-and-citing-content but not sure we want to have a DOI for particular releases.

I would encourage you to have DOIs ... for every release if possible.

A few links I bumped into that may serve as data points:

• https://the-turing-way.netlify.app/welcome#citing-the-turing-way
• https://the-environmental-ds-book.netlify.app/preamble/attribution.html

For now we don't really do releases since the content is regularly evolving but we could if we think this is worth it (e.g. for each MOOC session) ...

I followed the instructions in https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/archiving-a-github-repository/referencing-and-citing-content. My understanding is that we need to create a github release for Zenodo to create automatically a DOI.

Remaining steps:

• do a github relase for the MOOC 3rd version, see instructions there
• add a small "how to cite us" section in jupyter-book/index.md similarly as in https://inria.github.io/scikit-learn-mooc/ with a link to the DOI. There is a way to use have a DOI link always pointing to the latest version.
• maybe add the DOI badge to the README.md

I have created a github release with a tag named session-3 and opened #668 to add the DOI info, feed-back on the PR welcome!

Great news! Thanks for making the effort. This will make it easier for us to cite this material.
