Software source code plays a critical role in all fields of modern research, where source code is written and developed to address a variety of needs, like cleaning, processing and visualising data.
Software source code is a necessary component for research reproducibility and reusability.
Thus software source code should be properly curated in the same way as other research inputs and outputs such as research data and paper publication. Software source code developers and organisations that sponsor software development should also be properly credited and attributed.
This interest group will provide a forum to discuss issues on management, sharing, discovery, archival and provenance of software source code. It will pay special attention to source code that generates research data and plays an important role in scientific publications.
Information about sessions held at RDA Plenary Meetings can be found on the Group Wiki.

The Policies in Research Organisations for Research Software (PRO4RS) Working Group (WG) – case statement open for comment
The first draft of the PRO4RS WG case statement is open for community review! Community review period is from 11 September 2023 to 11 October 2023. The Policies in Research Organisations for Research Software Working Group (PRO4RS WG) will support research performing organisations worldwide to develop, align, and implement policies on research software as a key component of FAIR and open science/scholarship. The WG will identify and analyse existing policies to surface areas where policies are lacking and increase adoption of policies related to research software.0 | Add new comment
