Hi all, On GitHub and off-list there has been some discussion on making Scipy releases citable and producing one or more papers. So here's a short summary for those who haven't seen that yet. Here's a proposal to use Zenodo to generate a DOI for every new Scipy release: https://github.com/scipy/scipy/issues/6446. Looks like everyone is in favor so far. Furthermore it looks like we want to produce at least an "abstract paper" for a new release, for example in Journal of Open Source Software ( http://joss.theoj.org). The main objective there being to provide a way for academics to receive the credit they deserve for contributing by being a co-author on a peer-reviewed paper that can be cited. Evgeni suggested to start a new repo for this under the scipy org, which makes sense to me. The name I propose is scipy-articles. Better ideas welcome of course. Barring objections I'll create that in a day or two. Cheers, Ralf
