Abstract

The practice of science is becoming increasingly reliant on software — despite the lack of formal 2 training (Hastings et al. 2014; Wilson et al. 2014), upwards of 30% of scientists need to develop 3 their own. In ecology and evolution, this resulted in several journals (notably Methods in Ecology 4 & Evolution, Ecography, BMC Ecology) creating specific sections for papers describing software 5 packages. This can only be viewed as a good thing, since the call to publish software in an open 6 way has been made several times (Barnes 2010), and is broadly viewed as a way towards greater 7 reproducibility (Ince et al. 2012). In addition, by providing a peer-reviewed, journal approved 8 venue, this change in editorial practices gives credit to scientists for whom software development 9 is a frequent research output. 10
提高用户对科学软件信心的最佳发布实践
科学实践越来越依赖于软件——尽管缺乏正式的培训(Hastings et al. 2014;Wilson et al. 2014),超过30%的科学家需要开发自己的。在生态学和进化中,这导致了一些期刊(特别是《生态学与进化方法》、《生态学》、《BMC生态学》)为描述软件包的论文创建了专门的章节。这只能被视为一件好事,因为以开放的方式发布软件的呼吁已经多次提出(Barnes 2010),并且被广泛视为一种更大的可重复性(Ince et al. 2012)。此外,通过提供同行评审、期刊批准的场所,编辑实践中的这种变化给了那些经常将软件开发作为研究成果的科学家们以荣誉。10
