Hello List,

happy new 2025 to everybody.

Here are some things which might be of interest or even useful:

Since 2024 the number of COI-based citations for GRASS GIS in scientific 
literature has begun to rise.

The current publication list is here: https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/DOI#GRASS_GIS

Whenever somebody cites GRASS GIS, either as the overall project or a 
particular version by the GRASS DOI (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5176030) in 
the references of a digital scientific journal article (or book), this gets 
picked up by an digital publication infrastructure in the background, called 
Crossref.

This works already for a significant number of scientific journals (inlcuding 
those of AGU and EGU. Current list of confirmed journals here: 
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/DOI#Greenlist:_Journals_and_Publications_with_confirmed_CrossRef-listed_software_DOI_references_to_OSGeo_Projects)

Unfortunately this does not apply (yet) for conference proceedings/preprints 
from AGU, EGU or OSGeo FOSS4G.

The Crossref-infrastructure allows to search for and discover scientific 
publications which give due credit to the GRASS community.

I would like to encourage everybody who's publishing their GRASS-based 
scientific works  to cite GRASS GIS by its DOI, so we can later discover and 
share the publication.

The GDAL project is a bit ahead on the curve, their DOI-based references have 
been growing strongly sind 2022 
(https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/DOI#Greenlist:_Journals_and_Publications_with_confirmed_CrossRef-listed_software_DOI_references_to_OSGeo_Projects)

I'm optimistic that we will see a similar pickup in due credit for GRASS GIS 
soon.

Best,
Peter
