  2. A developer friendly journal for research software packages > A

    formal peer review process that is designed to improve the quality of the software submitted. > If your software is already well documented then paper preparation should take no more than an hour.
  3. “Make something citable” > Upload your code to GitHub (or

    other public repository) > Create a DOI for repository via Zenodo/figshare etc. > Write a paper about your software JOSS lowers the cost of this
  4. R > citation(‘ggplot2') To cite ggplot2 in publications, please use:

    H. Wickham. ggplot2: elegant graphics for data analysis. Springer New York, 2009. A BibTeX entry for LaTeX users is @Book{, author = {Hadley Wickham}, title = {ggplot2: elegant graphics for data analysis}, publisher = {Springer New York}, year = {2009}, isbn = {978-0-387-98140-6}, url = {http://had.co.nz/ggplot2/book}, }
  5. Python > import astroML as aml > aml.__citation__ @INPROCEEDINGS{astroML, author={{Vanderplas},

    J.T. and {Connolly}, A.J.and {Ivezi{\'c}}, {\v Z}. and {Gray}, A.}, booktitle={Conference on Intelligent Data Understanding (CIDU)}, title={Introduction to astroML: Machine learning for astrophysics}, month={Oct.}, pages={47 -54}, doi={10.1109/CIDU.2012.6382200}, year={2012} }
  6. “How URSSI could help” > Develop/document best practices for receiving

    career credit for software > Develop/document best practices for awarding career credit for software > Strive to make JOSS unnecessary? (better fixes than just software papers)
