ORFG Publishes Research Software Sharing Recommendations

The Open Research Funders Group (ORFG) has collaborated with open source experts from Higher Education Leadership Initiative for Open Scholarship (HELIOS) institutions to publish a PLOS Biology perspective, "Policy recommendations to ensure that research software is openly accessible and reusable". The piece provides policymaking guidance on leveraging research software to maximize research equity, transparency, and reproducibility. It makes the affirmative case that to accurately be able to replicate and reproduce results and build on shared data, we must not only have access to the data themselves, but also understand exactly how they were used and analyzed.
