Hi all,

sorry but how likely is it that we will break user scripts with this patch ?

https://github.com/search?q=%22parallel+--citation%22&type=code

I think that it would be better to disable citation checks without
changing availability of the command-line options.  (Sorry that I
can not do it myself).

Ole, in Debian we put a lot of effort providing citation information in
a central space, so that one can collect detailed references for
complete pipelines made using our packages.

https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/parallel/-/blob/master/debian/upstream/metadata

But better than a bibliographic DOI, have you consideded registering a
RRID ? (https://www.rrids.org/) (https://scicrunch.org/resources) This
will give scientists an easier way to declare their use of your work in
their publications without going to troubles about space in the
bibliography section, which is limited by many journals.

To the others: do you know a way to list or count the publications that
refer to a given RRID ?

Have a nice day,

Charles
