Category: Software Citation

For many decades software and research software has not been cataloged. If someone said we’ve not cataloged books for the last fifty years you’d think they were crazy — but this is the situation research software has found itself in — with some exceptions. The Software Source Code Identification (SCID) Working Group and its predecessor working groups have been working on ways to identify and cite research software and in effect going forward help create ways to enable cataloging of research software. SCID is looking for feedback on its latest software ID report — the community feedback deadline 17th August.
