Despite its rising position as a first-class research object, scientific software remains a marginal object in studies of scholarly communication. This study aims to fill the gap by examining the co-mention network of R packages across all Public Library of Science (PLoS) journals. To that end, we d...

Examining the usage, citation, and diffusion patterns of bibliometric mapping software: A comparative study of three tools
This study investigates the use, citation and diffusion of three bibliometric mapping software tools (CiteSpace, HistCite and VOSviewer) in scientific papers. We first conduct a content analysis of a sample of 481 English core journal papers-i.e., papers from journals deemed central to their respect...
How Important Is Scientific Software in Bioinformatics Research? A Comparative Study Between International and Chinese Research Communities
Software programs are among the most important tools in data‐driven research. The popularity of well‐known packages and corresponding large numbers of citations received bear testimony of the contribution of scientific software to academic research. Yet software is not generally recognized as an aca...
In most fields, computational models and data analysis have become a significant part of how research is performed, in addition to the more traditional theory and experiment. Mathematics is no exception to this trend. While the system of publication and credit for theory and experiment (journals and...
Towards computational reproducibility: researcher perspectives on the use and sharing of software
Research software, which includes both source code and executables used as part of the research process, presents a significant challenge for efforts aimed at ensuring reproducibility. In order to inform such efforts, we conducted a survey to better understand the characteristics of research softwar...
在科学研究中不可或缺.但其学术价值一直被低估甚至被忽略。本研究以9种CSSCI图书情报学 来源刊在2007--2016十年间所刊载的9 224篇学术性论文为样本。采用内容分析法对这些论文中的软件使用与 引用情况进行统计分析。结果表明:期刊中使用软件的论文比例呈逐年上升趋势。图书情报学研究对软件的依赖 程度愈发显著;图书情报学领域软件引用缺失严重,软件引用行为有待规范;国产软件在我国图书情报学研究中 发挥作用有限,国内软件研发投人有待提高。...
