Research Software Support: A National Approach to Research Software

Recorded: 22 July 2021
Presenter: Tom Honeyman

The draft "National Agenda for Research Software" suggests actions for working towards recognition of research software as a first class output of research. To make any headway on this change, research software authors will need support to understand evolving publishing and citation practices.
This session, facilitated by Dr Tom Honeyman, manager of the software program at the Australian Research Data Commons, was seeking feedback on the agenda and fresh ideas for tackling change. This session was specifically for professional research support staff, especially library staff, data stewards/managers, trainers, integrity officers and anyone who assists researchers or others who author or use research software software who are looking to understand best practice for publishing and/or citing research software, and related activities as identified in the draft research software agenda. For the purposes of the agenda, research software is anything from nonce code written for data preparation, exploration or analysis all the way through to complex software products.
