[Esip-citationguidelines] EOS article

[Mark Parsons]

Hi folks,

I had some correspondence with Kirk Martinez. He advised that an opinion piece would probably be best.

I think the opinion is basically  "it’s important to credit people for all kinds of work and products in science, but that’s difficult. Citation is only one mechanism because there are different roles which probably need to be credited differently for different artifacts.”

I will go ahead and prepare a proposal, but feel free to chime in on the initial draft manuscript at
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qsPuPkc4Hockej1wy9LrlzHfg0p42MwOURdTMVDWZ_c/edit?usp=sharing 
I won’t work on this much though until we get a response to our proposal.

We’ll also need to discuss authorship. EOS only allows five authors but I think team authorship is OK.

cheers,
