Joss: share buttons

[cranmer]

Since Altmetrics are mainly based on DOI, it might be nice to have a share button that auto-populates twitter/FB whatever with the title and URL for DOI.

For example this tweet points to DOI URLs not JOSS URLs

Less than a week after our launch, we've already got two accepted papers in JOSS: https://t.co/oGz9mBAj6f and https://t.co/8rAYw3ObNR ⚡ 🚀 💥

I this a good or a bad thing? DOIs are better for Altmetrics?

At the start, it seemed like creating a new type of journal that made the process of generating a paper from software easy was the main thing to do. Now that this works, making the journal look and act more like a traditional journal seems to me more important. :)

pointing to DOIs seems good to me.

👍 agreed!

Altmetrics require at least one meta data tag that is an identifier, i.e. citation_doi in the case of JOSS: https://help.altmetric.com/support/solutions/articles/6000141419-what-is-good-metadata-

They also prefer that the citation_issn is present.

I've created PR https://github.com/openjournals/whedon/pull/8 to whedon implementing both tags in the article HTML template.

The citation_doi field (and more) was added in https://github.com/openjournals/whedon/pull/12

I had filed a ticket with the altmetric support about the lack of coverage some months ago.
Given the metadata updates, I have now reopened that ticket (https://help.altmetric.com/support/tickets/44401 - not sure if that is accessible for anyone besides me) , so hopefully full altmetric coverage will be available soon for JOSS.

Just heard back from almetrics support. Coverage should work going forward. See e.g. https://www.altmetric.com/details/24601435
