Software Papers: improving the reusability and sustainability of scientific software

Research output: Working paperDiscussion paper

Abstract

In this paper, we describe the Journal of Open Research Software,
a software metajournal which features peer reviewed software
papers describing research software with high reuse potential. We
posit that the use of software papers improves the sustainability of
scientific software by making them discoverable and citable, as
well as asking them questions about the metadata required to use
and reuse the software easily.
