Itk: Create a Citation section for the README

[thewtex]

Add a Citation section to the README. This section should explain how to cite ITK in journal articles.

This should be helpful:
https://itk.org/Wiki/ITK/FAQ#How_do_I_cite_the_use_of_ITK_in_a_publication.3F

I guess we still want ITK to be cited as recommended there. The page is outdated, though (third edition is not in press right now: fourth edition is out) :worried:.

Yes, we should reference the original publication, The Software Guide, but also the update emphasizing progress and the project's focus on reproducible research and open science: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fninf.2014.00013/full.

May be we could use zenodo and add the corresponding file and badge to the README file instead of adding a section in the README file? Or in addition to?

[thewtex]

Good idea. Since Zenodo is version-dependent, we should probably wait until ITK 5.0.0 to create a citation.

[jhlegarreta]

Seems reasonable.

A few (possibly useful) thoughts:

• GitHub Making Your Code Citable guide.
• On second thoughts, even if zenodo is used, adding a Citing ITK section somewhere would still be necessary. The SW Guide could be a good place, but may be the README in the ITK repository is better.
• Not sure if it the zenodo citation information could also be used in the PyPI ITK package.
• Generating the zenodo citation every time a release is made should be added to Release.md.
• Not sure whether a JSON with the repository/author information (nibabel script example) should be generated and uploaded using a script for example to zenodo.

We'll figure out.
