Provide a summary statement at the end for papers to include #219
Description
Steering committee is trying to facilitate markup of publications on BIDS datasets to state that paper covers a (valid) BIDS dataset. To that degree Aperture Neuro at https://apertureneuro.org/for-authors has now
For data documentation, it is advised to use the BIDS format (https://bids.neuroimaging.io/). It is recommended that the authors: 1) check the respective box in the submission form, 2) use ‘BIDS’ as one of the keywords of the manuscript, and 3) mention the version of the BIDS validator (e.g. this online tool) that was used to ensure BIDS compatibility. Reviewers are encouraged to check if data are indeed following the BIDS format.
But I think, in flavor of fmriprep providing an entire section, it would be great if bids-validator complemented its output of validator with a statement, such as
If describing this dataset in an article, please include:
Dataset has passed BIDS validator x.y.z [zenodo ref] validating BIDS version X.Y.Z [zenodor ref] with A errors and B warnings .
.bidsignore was present and ignored X out of Y files.
ideally it fetches the list of releases of BIDS and validator DOIs from zenodo and caches locally.
