This guide covers content from this confluence page that I created a few months back. It only covers using Zenodo. Any other methods for citing software will need to be added.

This looks great! I just have a few minor suggestions.

good example of this second approach, which follows guidance from the [Turing Way](https://the-turing-way.netlify.app/communication/aa/aa-equitable)
project.

I have been adding an "Acronyms" section at the bottom of pages that spell out any acronyms used within the document. There are a few here that I think could be mentioned: DOI, SMD, and API.

I like what you did for the docker guides. I'll add a section on acronyms here!

* There are multiple ways to cite authors for software. One method is to list the name of each contributor.
Since the list of contributors may change from release to release, a contributors list in the repository
can help track these updates and ensure proper attribution. Another option is to list a group or organization
as the author (i.e. <project name> Developers) and recognize individual contributors via the all-contributors bot.

This might be needed. Without it, I think markdown is treating it in some strange way (I see that it doesn't show up in the RtD page)
