The Johns Hopkins University Open Source Programs Office (OSPO) is happy to announce the next in our Explainer series, a collection of bite-sized videos tackling a variety of open-source essentials.
This explainer video shows you how to cite research software and create citation files for your own software. Learn why acknowledging software is crucial for scientific progress and when you should include software citations in your work. Find out which elements are must-haves for your software citations and how to leverage GitHub’s integration with CFF files for increased visibility. This explainer offers valuable insights on best practices for giving credit where it’s due in the evolving landscape of research software.
Look out later this summer for Explainers about Version Control and Open Source Project Governance.
