"But the most highly cited papers generally aren’t the most famous scientific discoveries. Rather, these works tend to describe scientific methods or software, the workhorses on which scientists depend."

Eric Jensen & I have a new paper out, based on a survey of research software funders, in a Sloan-funded research software policy project

We've just added CERN and UCL to the academic map, as both have OSPOs now. \o/

We've also add a page for @investinopen, because they're great.

Huh, I must've missed the announcement.

@swheritage is now providing citation metadata to download as #BibTeX and use via #BibLaTeX (biblatex-software) for archived software with a CITATION.cff file or codemeta.json in the root directory!

Very cool!

We're excited to be participating in the SciCodes Symposium this week to discuss the future of research software!

Our Director of Programs Katherine Skinner will be delivering a keynote address, with insights and recommendations from our latest report on the State of Open Research Software Infrastructure: https://investinopen.org/blog/charting-a-path-towards-a-sustainable-and-resilient-research-software-infrastructure-ecosystem/

We need your input! The Research Software Infrastructure (RSI) Forum is focusing on use cases to explore how various #ResearchSoftware activities intersect with the broader research software ecosystem. We’d love to hear your thoughts on priority use cases and where you’d like to be involved! Check out some use cases below and share your feedback:

1. Identify a software project
2. Cite software
3. Track funding
...and more (https://docs.google.com/document/d/15WjD0uqNfQIg5FHOCRG9FnvRd9-KNsReqwele5viz8o/edit?tab=t.0)

New paper:

W. Hasselbring, S. Druskat, @jbernoth, P. Betker, M. Felderer, @sferenz, @benhermann, A.-L. Lamprecht, @jlinx, A. Prat, B. Rumpe, K. Schoening-Stierand, and S. Yang, “Multi-Dimensional Research Software Categorization,” Computing in Science & Engineering, 2025. https://doi.org/10.1109/MCSE.2025.3555023.

in which we propose the first iteration of a multi-dimensional categorization for #ResearchSoftware. Useful for, e.g., requirements eng., guidelines, training, assessment, funding, metadata.

ReSA invites your feedback on our 2025-28 strategic plan:

Thank you for helping us shape the future of the #ResearchSoftware community!

Exciting news! @us_rse and ReSA are joining forces to strengthen the global research software community! This new partnership will amplify collaboration and opportunities for #ResearchSoftware professionals everywhere. Together, we are advancing #OpenScience, sustainability, and the recognition of RSEs!

I'm hoping to attend @SoftwareSaved Collaborations Workshop 2025 (CW25), in Stirling this May. Anyone else going?
