« Software has become an indissociable support of technical and scientific knowledge. The preservation of this universal body of knowledge is as essential as preserving research articles and data sets. In the quest to make scientific results reproducible, and pass knowledge to future generations, we must preserve these three main pillars:…
« (…) We analyze the role of identifiers for digital objects (IDOs), whose properties are different from, and complementary to, those of the various digital identifiers of objects (DIOs) that are today popular building blocks of software and data citation toolchains.

« On the 21st of November, participants of the National eScience Symposium in Amsterdam witnessed a special event: the launch of the FAIR Software Route. This online step-by-step guide helps developers, researchers and data stewards creating and storing research software in a FAIR way. (…) »
« This article presents and describes a software tool that comes at the end of the process of creating a digital edition, to be used in that crucial phase when the edition is prepared for publication on the Web. The aim is not to show the more technical aspects of this…
« (…) In this work, we aim to summarize the current status of the debate around FAIR and software, as basis for the development of community-agreed principles for FAIR research software in the future. (…) »
« The mission of Software Heritage is to collect, preserve and share all the publicly available source code. (…) Today, we are delighted to announce that GitHub will join forces with Software Heritage in the urgent effort to archive and preserve humankind’s source…
« Research software is fundamental to contemporary research, yet it does not receive the recognition it rightfully deserves. This needs to change, particularly in the context of the discussions around open science and reproducibility. We argue that if open science is to truly lead towards better, more transparent, and reproducible research,…
« Créé en 2015 sous l’impulsion de l’Inria, Software Heritage est une archive ouverte dont la mission est de collecter, préserver et partager les codes sources de tous les logiciels publiquement disponibles. (…) »
