Four recommendations to make research code more visible, citable and FAIR

This presentation covers four recommendations to make research code more visible. The alignment of these recommendations with the FAIR Principles for research software (FAIR4RS) are also discussed. The target audience are Researchers who code, EMCRs interested in open science, computational reproducibility and research integrity, eResearch services staff and Digital Librarians.
