Citing OpenTideConstants

• Each release will have its own DOI, through Zenodo, under one concept DOI that always resolves to the latest release. DOIs are coming with the first release.
• Cite the release you used, by its release date (YYYYMMDD) and its DOI, so others can get the same data.
• The repository has a CITATION.cff file, which GitHub and reference managers can read.

Until the first release, cite the project as:

OpenTideConstants contributors. OpenTideConstants: open tidal harmonic constants.
https://opentideconstants.org/ (release DOI coming with the first release).
