The-turing-way: [BUG] dead link on the rdm-spreadsheets page

Created on 24 Sep 2020  路  5Comments  路  Source: alan-turing-institute/the-turing-way

Bug description

Some of these mishaps are not unique to spreadsheets, but [many are](https://doi.org/10.1186/s13059-016-104).

I can happily fix that but I am not sure what the target is supposed to be. :-)

On a related note: maybe I missed it but there seems to be no automatic checks for dead links.

In case you are looking for an easy way to set one up I have started using this one and can give a hand setting it up.

Thanks @Remi-Gau. We will add this to our Hacktoberfest issue :)

I don't think I know which DOI that broken link refers to, but I will suggest using this: DOI: 10.1186/1471-2105-5-80

@all-contributors, please add @Remi-Gau for bug.

Looking at the git blame for book/website/reproducible-research/rdm/rdm-spreadsheets.md, it seems that the DOI got truncated and was previously 10.1186/s13059-016-1044-7.

I will open a PR to revert this. @malvikasharan The article you suggested is on a very similar subject (gene names being changed in excel), would linking to both articles be better?

Hey @JimMadge adding both examples would be great. Thank you 馃槉
