Scientific software resource navigation
Software is increasingly crucial to scholarship, yet the visibility and usefulness of software in the scientific record are in question. Just as with data, the visibility of software in publications is related to incentives to share software in reusable ways, and so promote efficient science. In thi...
Although researchers are increasingly aware of the need to publish and maintain software code alongside their results, practical barriers prevent this from happening in many cases. We examine these barriers, propose an incremental approach to overcoming some of them, and describe the Sound Software ...
Papers describing software are an important part of computational fields of scientific research. These software papers” are unique in a number of ways, and they require special consideration to improve their impact on the scientific community and their efficacy at conveying important information. He...
Recent years have seen a surge of studies in machine learning in health and biomedicine, driven by digitalization of healthcare environments and increasingly accessible computer systems for conducting analyses. Many of us believe that these developments will lead to significant improvements in patie...
The domain of geophysics has historically been a driver of scientific software development due to the size, complexity, and societal importance of the research questions. Geophysical computation complements field observation, laboratory analysis, experiment, and theory. Specialized scientific softwa...
Creators of computer programs that underpin experiments don’t always get their due — so the website Depsy is trying to track the impact of research code.
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...
Software is increasingly important to the scientific enterprise, and science-funding agencies are increasingly funding software work. Accordingly, many different participants need insight into how to understand the relationship between software, its development, its use, and its scientific impact. I...
为揭示开源软件 Word2vec 在学术论文中的可见性和学术影响力， 以推进软件引用规范化，促进软件共享和再利用，进而提高科研效率，文 章采用内容分析法对 Word2vec 在中英文学术论文中的使用和引用情况进行深入分析。结果表明，使用 Word2vec 的中英文论文量均逐年增加，但 Word2vec 引用缺 失严重;中英文论文中的软件引用情况存在较大差异，中文论文的软件引用缺失率是英 文论文的两倍之多;核心期刊论文中的软件引用缺失率低于一般期刊。最后根据研究结 果，提出了推进我国软件引用规范化的对策建议。...
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。...
