Hello!
This is my first post here, I hope I am in the right channel.
I have developed a software (my first one!) and I want to publish it to obtain a DOI number and a related publication.
I am biologist so this is really new to me.
I was thinking about publishing here https://joss.theoj.org/ using a MIT licence.
Have you any advise about journal/licence for that?
Any other advise is welcome
Thank you in advance
Thanks for your question! Yes, this is the right place.
JOSS is definitely a good option. It’s a proper journal, and you’ll get a paper and DOI from that.
Another option is to use Zenodo https://zenodo.org/ where you put your code in a GitHub repository, then login to Zenodo, switch on integration for your repository, then make a git tag, then you got a DOI!
You can of course do both. and I think JOSS maybe wants you to do Zenodo as well, not sure.
MIT is a good default license for sure.
