Notes on what we did for Rogue Scholar integration

[maelle]

(For a possible tech note)

With a lot of help from @mfenner,

• Reformated our JSON index, in particular to add info about authors and about relationships (cross-posts, translations).
• Submitted said index to Rogue Scholar
• Added code to our layouts to find the DOI from Rogue Scholar API if there's one. If there's one it's included in the post source's head and in the sidebar with a copy-paste button. If there's not one yet, in the sidebar we use a fallback URL.

I was wondering about this. So this means that the first time site is built, there's no DOI, but in subsequent builds it is able to get the DOI?

Yes, and we build the website once a day anyway (to make sure the events page is updated for instance) https://github.com/ropensci/roweb3/blob/main/.github/workflows/main.yml
