[GRASS-PSC] Proposal: Display GRASS DOI icon on project webpage

[Veronica Andreo]

Hi Peter,

I have now included the DOI badge as suggested, please have a look at this
PR: https://github.com/OSGeo/grass-website/pull/362

If you are willing to provide the text for a news item about DOI relevance,
I'm happy to format it and create the PR for the website.

Cheers,
Vero

>> Hello PSC,
>>
>> I would like to propose to include the DOI icon (
>> https://zenodo.org/badge/DOI/10.5281/zenodo.7764250.svg) for GRASS GIS
>> on a prominent spot on the GRASS GIS project page (
>> https://grass.osgeo.org/). This is should require little effort but will
>> result in benefitial consequences and visibility for the project community
>> and GRASS GIS applications across all fields of Science.
>>
>> It's been over a year that a DOI was registered for GRASS GIS. Other
>> projects, such as PROJ and GDAL have also registered DOI. While this is
>> great in itself, preserving OSGeo projects as part of the scientific
>> record, enabling scientific citation, etc.,  this has not yet been
>> announced to the greater public.
>>
>> In the meantime other projects such as PROJ, GDAL and Mapserver have
>> already included their DOI icons in their web pages (e.g.
>> https://gdal.org/).
>>
>> It seems that this alone already suffices to motivate and enable
>> scientists to give due credit to the sofware projects and the project
>> communities by DOI-based citation, including hi-visibility journals such as
>> Nature.
>>
>> Here are two recent examples for GDAL:
>> [2023-1] Scientific Data: A 1.2 Billion Pixel Human-Labeled Dataset for
>> Data-Driven Classification of Coastal Environments (
>> https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-023-01929-2) -> Reference #40
>> [2023-3] Environmental Research Communications: Validation of FABDEM, a
>> global bare-earth elevation model, against UAV-lidar derived elevation in a
>> complex forested mountain catchment (
>> https://doi.org/10.1088/2515-7620/acc56d)
>>
>> The benefits of DOI based citation are twofold: As stated, the software
>> projects receive proper credit, but in addition we will better understand
>> from the publication records where and for what GRASS GIS is put to use.
>>
>> The code snippets for the GRASS GIS DOI are provided by the GRASS GIS
>> landing page on Zenodo in HTML, markdown and other formats (right-click on
>> the black/blue DOI icon on the right side of the page):
>>
>> <a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7764250"><img src="
>> https://zenodo.org/badge/DOI/10.5281/zenodo.7764250.svg" alt="DOI"></a>
>> [![DOI](
>> https://zenodo.org/badge/DOI/10.5281/zenodo.7764250.svg)](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7764250
>> )

>> Best,
