[science-iwg] Scientific papers - scientific software

Hi folks,

Martin gave an excellent talk about the publication of software at the EGU meeting yesterday. Scientists get reward for papers but not for software. Papers are cited, software not. That's a drawback for a scientific career. As we know, software has become crucial in scientific research nowadays. Hence, I'd like to share some of Martin's ideas with you:

* Certain Science/LocationTech WG releases/packages get a DOI
* The DOI points to a landing page with appropriate metadata to cite the release/package * The release/package can be cited and will be ranked on Google Scholar and other systems

= This could be an incentive for more scientists to publish their software under the umbrella of the Science and LocationTech WG.

What's your opinion?


Best,
Philip
