Either in https://github.com/openjournals/jose, as a self-published on the UofTCoders website, or elsewhere.
Copied from original issue: UofTCoders/council#173
Things to consider including https://www.californiacivicdata.org/2017/07/12/first-python-notebook-at-sdsu/
One publication avenue would be on a journals home page as a blog entry, or some overview article, e.g. this one from e-life https://elifesciences.org/labs/cad57bcf/composing-reproducible-manuscripts-using-r-markdown?utm_source=surveymonkey&utm_campaign=reprodocrevs
More journals that could be interested (with examples of similar articles):
We could also just publish in Nature right away https://www.nature.com/articles/s41559-017-0160
Data carpentry published here http://ijdc.net/index.php/ijdc/article/view/10.1.135
I love this idea and totally think we should do it. I'm going to do a few clean ups, then create a tag of the final course content. If anyone has any strong desires to add or clean something up, let me know.
We now have a DOI to use 😄 https://zenodo.org/record/1117433 and a DOI README badge!
So we can use this DOI when citing the content if/when we write something up about this experience.
It's on my todo list to start a repo for writing a paper on our experience and adding brainstorming, starting a discussion on dividing up the tasks, etc. I hope to get to that end of this week.
We'll also need to consider publication costs... that will likely drive our choice of journal... Unless someone has an idea about how to bypass that.
Thanks @lwjohnst86!
Fees and links to the publishing section for the journals mentioned earlier in this conversation:
- International Journal of digital curation
- Free. Data Carpentry published here
- Biomed Central
- USD 2145. Waives fees on a per author basis. Although UofT is already a member institution and receives 15% off, so I am not sure if they still consider waiving fees.
- Elife
- USD 2500. Waives fees on a per author basis.
- Plos One
- USD 1500. UofT is not a member, Waives fees on a per author basis.
- Jose
- Not accepting submissions yet. No commits in their repo since August.
I could not find anything about UofT having funds available that students could apply for to cover publishing costs, but I can reach out to copyright@library.utoronto.ca and inquire. UofT does host some journals of their own, the only somewhat relevant was iJournal.
