BibTeX optional metadata

[1ucian0]

What is the expected behavior?

@lerongil mentioned that it would be great for research assets to optionally have a way to get the bibtex entry associated with projects, for easy citing.

I think it would be possible to have an optional field in the project metadata with the arXiv paper ID. With that data, arXiv API could retrieve and build the BibTeX entry, similarly to https://arxiv2bibtex.org/

Hi @1ucian0 :) do you mean having the reference of the project as same as the title or the description for example ? Also, I notified that lot of code projects are using Zenodo to attribute a doi to the project.

hi @1ucian0
Is this issue still open?
I would like to submit a PR to close this.
Could you please provide more details like what more fields should be added in citing?

Thanks
