Webinar // The New Feature for Describing Code and Software Management in DMPOPIDoR

Speakers: Maria Grazia Santangelo, Jozefina Sadowska, and Valerie Francois (INRIA)

Software is now one of the fundamental pillars of research,
just like publications and data. However, despite its central role, research software
remains difficult to find, cite, and reference correctly.
Due to the lack of appropriate mechanisms, software is often overlooked
or poorly described in data management plans.
To address this challenge, a questionnaire dedicated to source code and research software
has been integrated into the OPIDoR DMP platform. It allows for the description of
software and associated research data within a single plan.
Designed according to FAIR principles and machine-readable, this questionnaire takes
into account the specific characteristics of the source code and software lifecycle. It addresses
key aspects such as the general description of the software, development tools
and runtime environments, preservation (indexing and long-term archiving),
legal issues (authors, licenses), as well as the scientific value of
software outputs.
