We have recently reviewed the concepts of Research Software and Research Data, concluding with new formulations for their definitions, and proposing answers to these conundrum challenges for Research Data. In the present work we extend the consideration of the Borgman’s conundrum challenges to Research Software, providing answers to these questions in this new context. Moreover, we complete the initial list of questions/answers, by asking how and where the Research Software may be shared. (…) »
