Useful Information for RDA COVID-19 Software Subgroup

 

Description:

Software is essential in the analysis and processing of research data. For the RDA COVID-19 WG it represents a cross-cutting theme with an impact in all of the different sub-groups. The goal of this subgroup is to provide over-arching guidance on software use and development with respect to COVID-19 research and also to coordinate specific guidance for the individual sub-groups. This group is supported by the Research Software Alliance (ReSA).

 

Software subgroup priorities:

  1. A set of guideline documents for the research community that highlight the key practices for the development and (re)use of research software and code.
  2. Recommendations for policy makers on how to support the research software community to respond to COVID-19 challenges.
  3. A Decision Tree tool to facilitate navigation of good practices for research software and code.
