Southampton-RSG/soton_software_survey_analysis_2019: Release with DOI in report

Description

In 2019, the Southampton Research Software Group (SRSG) conducted a survey of research staff to identify the relationship between software and research at the University of Southampton. The SRSG works across faculties to provide software engineering expertise and training to researchers.

The survey found that software use is near ubiquitous across all but one faculty, researchers report that software is vital to their work, a third of researchers develop their own software, and around a third who develop software are interested in commercialisation. Worryingly, around two thirds of staff who develop software do not believe they have had sufficient training to develop reliable software.
