NCL been assigned a DOI

In a new NCAR initiative to promote transparent and easy access to scientific resources, NCL has been assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI). DOIs are persistent identifiers for web-based resources.

The NCL DOI, when used in URL form, http://dx.doi.org/10.5065/D6WD3XH5, provides a persistent link to the NCL web page. The benefit of DOIs is that they are widely accepted by academic publishers as citable locators for scholarly objects.

If you would like to cite NCL in your publications, you can use the following text:

  The NCAR Command Language (Version 6.0.0) [Software]. (2012). Boulder, Colorado: UCAR/NCAR/CISL/VETS. http://dx.doi.org/10.5065/D6WD3XH5

You will need to update the NCL version and year as appropriate.

For more information about DOIs, see http://www.doi.org and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_object_identifier.
