Software Management Plans: how do they lead to better research?

In January 2025, Dr Carlos Martinez-Ortiz talked about the Practical guidelines for Software Management Plans (SMP) (https://zenodo.org/record/7185371), developed by the Netherlands eScience Center and the Dutch funding council (NWO).

Starting from the concept of what are SMPs, and what are the development practices that they encourage, he explained how the guidelines have been implemented at different places. He also talked about tools that have been (and are being developed) to help researchers implement good practices when developing research software for their own research.
