[CIG-ALL] Special Workshop: Software for Science: Getting Credit for Code - Friday October 30

[Lorraine Hwang]

26 October 2015

Dear Community,

CIG is collaborating with the UC Davis Library and others to address the question of how scientists can get credit for code.  As a community of modelers, we both use and develop code often authored by or with others. We routinely cite scientific publications, but how do we cite code? This workshop will introduce the topic and explore issues to help you as the developer to help users to cite your code and you as the user to cite code.

Software for Science: Getting Credit for Code
Date: October 30, 2015, 9:30-5:00pm
Location: MultiPurpose Room, Student Community Center, UC Davis, Davis, California
	    For more information see: http://icis.ucdavis.edu/ <http://icis.ucdavis.edu/>

Software for scientific modeling, simulations, analytics, etc., have become commonplace in many research disciplines, requiring years of effort by scientists and researchers to create and maintain. Yet the scholarly
credit system does not reliably recognize this effort and the importance of this type of contribution to scientific progress. Getting software integrated into the scholarly credit system of publication and citation is an important step towards correcting the problem. At UC Davis, the Software Attribution for Geoscience Applications (SAGA) project has brought together an interdisciplinary team from the Geological, Social, Library, and Computer Sciences to illuminate the technological and cultural barriers to effective software citation. The UC Davis Innovating Communication in Scholarship (ICIS) project is sponsoring a one-day conference to discuss these issues, what the SAGA project is discovering, what publishers and other players are doing, and what needs to happen next.

This workshop will be available virtually. Registration is not required for virtual attendance. Please check back at our website for the event link.
