doi -> full citation in references.md

Currently, cimr-d recommends data submitters to indicate doi(s) of data or publication(s) to cite when specific submitted data is used. This is then stored in the catalog.txt. These doi should lead to a full citation (.ris, .bib or such likes) in cimr-d references.md.

The manubot citation infrastructure could be used to fill this in. Are you thinking that the full citation would go somewhere like the selected space in this screenshot?

Yes. doi on the README.md of the processed dir with a link to references.md with a full citation will be best. To fit each file info per line, timestamps may need shortening (e.g. no h m s). I will give it a bit more thought.

Putting this as a reminder to myself. I think the useful format for the README.md in the processed dir would be, e.g.

  • data_type
    • [context such as disease or tissue name](aws s3 hyperlink): file_size, [doi](citation file, article link or specific line in cimr-d references.md), [metadata](processed yaml path), updated on ZZZZ

It will be some work trying to pretty-it-up, but it will be more informative than listing file names that tend to be very study-specific.
