Policy on Software in Journals
If a piece of novel software is
important to published
research then it is likely
appropriate to describe it in
such a paper.
http://journals.aas.org/policy/software.html
Policy on Software in Journals
Papers can be
short,
descriptive,
and need not include
research results.
http://journals.aas.org/policy/software.html
A note on open source
We recommend authors
release code under an open
source license, but do not
require it.
(Do open source codes get more citations?!?)
http://journals.aas.org/policy/software.html
What about citation?
Cite the Software Paper
AND
Cite the Code
AND
Use software{}
http://journals.aas.org/policy/software.html
software{}
Enforcing citation of software
‘Living’ Papers
‘Living’ Papers
‘Living’ Papers can be
updated, with new sections
added and author lists
expanded.
Papers published since 2009 can be updated.

Work Still to Do
Are DOIs for software useful?
How do we encourage good
software practice?
Should we review software
itself?
