The Open Source Software movement has been growing exponentially for a number of years with no signs of slowing. Driving this growth is the widespread availability of libraries and frameworks that provide many functionalities. Developers…

The reproduction and replication of reported scientific results is a hot topic within the academic community. The retraction of numerous studies from a wide range of disciplines, from climate science to bioscience, has drawn the focus of…

Software development is getting changed so rapidly. It will be highly benefited if we can accelerate software development process by guiding developers. Appropriate guidelines and accurate recommendations to developers during development…

From more than half a century ago indexing scientific articles has been studied intensively to provide a more efficient data retrieval and to conserve researchers invaluable time. In the last two decades with the emergence of the World Wide…

The general purpose of a scientific publication is the exchange and spread of knowledge. A publication usually reports a scientific result and tries to convince the reader that it is valid. With an ever-growing number of papers relying on…

The disconnect between distributed software artifacts and their supposed source code enables attackers to leverage the build process for inserting malicious functionality. Past research in this field focuses on compiled language ecosystems,…

As the amount of data on the World Wide Web continues to grow exponentially, access to semantically structured information remains limited. The Semantic Web has emerged as a solution to enhance the machine-readability of data, making it…

The sharing and citation of research data is becoming increasingly recognized as an essential building block in scientific research across various fields and disciplines. Sharing research data allows other researchers to reproduce results,…

Software repository hosting services contain large amounts of open-source software, with GitHub hosting more than 100 million repositories, from new to established ones. Given this vast amount of projects, there is a pressing need for a…

Research software has become a central asset in academic research. It optimizes existing and enables new research methods, implements and embeds research knowledge, and constitutes an essential research product in itself. Research software…

The drive for reproducibility in the computational sciences has provoked discussion and effort across a broad range of perspectives: technological, legislative/policy, education, and publishing. Discussion on these topics is not new, but…

Following the widespread digitalization of scholarship, software has become essential for research, but the current sociotechnical system of citation does not reflect this sufficiently. Citation provides context for research, but the…

Conducting empirical research in software engineering industry is a process, and as such, it should be generalizable. The aim of this paper is to discuss how academic researchers may address some of the challenges they encounter during…

Modern research heavily relies on software. A significant challenge researchers face is understanding the complex software used in specific research fields. We target two scenarios in this context, namely long onboarding times for newcomers…

Collaborative vocabulary development in the context of data integration is the process of finding consensus between the experts of the different systems and domains. The complexity of this process is increased with the number of involved…

Increasing quantities of scientific data are becoming readily accessible via online repositories such as those provided by Figshare and Zenodo. Geoscientific simulations in particular generate large quantities of data, with several research…

Critical goals of scientific computing are to increase scientific rigor, reproducibility, and transparency while keeping up with ever-increasing computational demands. This work presents an integrated framework well-suited for data…

Code review is widely known as one of the best practices for software quality assurance in software development. In a typical code review process, reviewers check the code committed by developers to ensure the quality of the code, during…

We study goodness-of-fit of discrete distributions in the distributed setting, where samples are divided between multiple users who can only release a limited amount of information about their samples due to various information constraints.…

A recent study showed that more than 70% of researchers fail to reproduce their peers's experiments and more than half fail to reproduce their own experiments. Obviously, from a perspective of scientific quality this is a more than…
