I was curious what this looked like in practice, so I found a repo that has a CITATION.cff file — look at the right hand column where the readme, license, code of conduct, etc. are listed.

@victorlin might be worth creating issues in nextstrain/auspice and nextstrain/nextstrain.org, at a minimum?

Thank you, @victorlin! This has been on the back of my mind since ~Jan 2021... 😄 Very cool to see it implemented this way, so I can use the same pattern for other projects.

I chose this repo because it already had a citation snippet in the README. The other two don't. It seems easy enough to just create PRs for those repos, so I'll do that (citing the Nextstrain paper).

There's a preview link at the top of this PR. Just added a screenshot too.
