Description

The Research Software Alliance (ReSA) welcomes this opportunity to inform
approaches for ensuring broad public access to the peer-reviewed scholarly
publications, data, and code that result from federally-funded scientific research.

This submission focuses on how improving the recognition and value of research
software can increase the access to unclassified published research, digital scientific
data, and code supported by the US Government. ReSA is the international
organization representing the research software community. ReSA’s vision is that
research software be recognized and valued as a fundamental and vital component of
research worldwide.
