Research software is a significant and vital component of research. It
is integral to all stages of research from pre- to post- processing and
analysis and modeling. Recognizing software roles in reproducibility and
the need for recognition for those who develop software has energized
conversations on what FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable,
Reusable) means for research software. The FAIR For Research Software
Working Group (FAIR4RS WG) is leading the research software community in
the crucial step of agreeing how to apply the FAIR principles to
research software by mid-2021, and is co-led by the Research Software
Alliance (ReSA), Research Data Alliance (RDA) and FORCE11.
This workshop aims to:
- present updates on application of the FAIR principles to research software to advance community knowledge - provide opportunities to become involved in this evolving work, enabling participants to become involved in policy development -
engage participants in identifying examples of best practice in earth
sciences in developing FAIR/sustainable software for research - identify areas for improvement - enable participants to meet like-minded colleagues.
This talk was presented at the 2021 Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) Summer Meeting held virtually in July 2021.
