The Astrophysics Source Code Library (ASCL ascl.net), started in 1999, is a free open registry of software used in refereed astronomy research. Over the past few years, it has spearheaded an effort to form a consortium of scientific software registries and repositories. In 2019 and 2020, ASCL contacted editors and maintainers of discipline and institutional software registries and repositories in math, biology, neuroscience, geophysics, remote sensing, and other fields to develop a list of best practices for these research software resources. At the completion of that project, performed as a Task Force for a FORCE11 working group, members decided to form SciCodes as an ongoing consortium. This presentation covered the consortium's work so far, what it is currently working on, what it hopes to achieve for making scientific research software more discoverable across disciplines, and how the consortium can benefit astronomers.
翻译:1999年开始的天体物理学源代码库(ASCL ascl.net)是一个免费开放的软件登记册,用于参考天文学研究,过去几年来,它率先努力组建一个科学软件登记册和储存库联合体,2019年和2020年,天体物理学源代码库联系了学科和机构软件登记册的编辑和维护者以及数学、生物学、神经科学、地球物理学、遥感和其他领域的保存者,以制定这些研究软件资源的最佳做法清单。在完成这个项目时,作为FORCE11工作组的一个工作队,其成员决定组成SciCodes,作为一个进行中的联合体,该专题介绍涵盖了该联合体迄今为止的工作,它目前的工作,它希望取得哪些成果,使科学研究软件在学科之间更容易发现,以及该联合体如何使天文学家受益。
