Cite.Software

Guidance on research software preservation is scattered across many libraries, journals, research groups, and organizations' websites. The guidance varies across these websites and does not often address researchers' needs for clear instruction. Researchers/authors are left without a common reference point. The CiteSoftware group's aim is to drive the adoption of a common research software preservation and citation guidance website called Cite.Software for the research community. We are looking for support and guidance from the Research Software Funders Forum. We will leverage the content and development expertise of the Turing Way and The Netherlands eScience Center but also plan on working with key stakeholders involved with research software preservation and citation to develop the resource. The site will be hosted via GitHub (or similar) to foster transparent, collaborative work with the community. In this workshop session, we plan on using the forum as our stepping stone for further guidance and support to progress the project.
