Good Enough Practices in Scientific Computing

Seems reasonable. An interesting bit for me was the CITATION file. The lack of citability for software is a recurring annoyance when writing up work that uses that software.

I've started putting DOIs on my relevant github repos: https://guides.github.com/activities/citable-code/

There are clearly still issues with versioning and so forth, but it's a start for software that isn't suitable for writing an article about.

Have you ever taken a look at DueCredit (https://github.com/duecredit/duecredit)? It aims to address this problem by allowing you to add citations directly to your Python code using decorators. I believe there are also plans to expand to other languages in the future.
