Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #researchsoftware, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Is anyone aware of examples of research software projects successfully (or not) using micro-funding such as online tip jars, github sponsorship or similar?

    Can research institutions even make use of funds in this way?

    Can researcher users even make donations like this (other than from their own pockets)?

    Could a project make up enough funding to provide any meaningful support? Or are they mostly too small?

  8. Do you enjoy contributing to #FOSS / #OpenSource and #academia? You could sign up to be a reviewer for the Journal of Open Source Software.

    :cyberheart_purple:

    You might also help me personally :)

    For any #Dart heads out there, my library is in the @joss review process. We need some more reviewers, and in general there are only a couple of Dart reviewers registered for the journal.

    My submission: github.com/openjournals/joss-r

    More information about JOSS reviews: joss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

    Volunteer to become a reviewer: reviewers.joss.theoj.org/join

  9. We are looking to extend the @CATMA_app development team! This is an E13, full-time position for 36 months and relates to the ongoing development of our open source annotation tool.

    The focus of the development work is on extending the API, separating frontend and backend, and implementing a modern, redesigned GUI.

    Become part of the 3-person dev team! Details here: career.tu-darmstadt.de/tu-darm

  11. Die @informatik und @de_rse haben eine eine Muster-Leitlinie zur effizienten Entwicklung von Forschungssoftware veröffentlicht.

    Es ist ein umfassendes und hilfreiches Dokument mit Textvorschlägen und möglichen Varianten in Bezug auf Nachhaltigkeit und gute wissenschaftliche Praxis im Umgang mit Forschungssoftware.

  14. For me lack of time (publishable data and code require much more time, and this is good because it enhances dramatically your analysis) paired with lack of incentives is the biggest barrier.
