And yet, the authors fail to imagine incentives & structures for #ScientificSoftware development that go beyond the current (ineffective) status quo.

Software shouldn't be coerced into an article format or a new journal; instead, we need proper #funding & dedicated #career paths for the foundation of #OpenScience.

More and more scientific disciplines realize the importance of (#opensource) #ScientificSoftware fore excellent research - and the lack of recognition & incentives to ensure maintenance of crucial pillars of our work. Commentary in #Nature #ecology & #evolution https://rdcu.be/c6uMN

And yet...

The main work body of my #PhD was to develop and employ a lattice Boltzmann method for thin film flows (#LBM, #scientificsoftware).
Some of our reviewers first thoughts were: "Why should one use the #LBM for the evolution of a scalar field (the film thickness) 🙄 ?"

This is honestly a good question, because there are several good solvers for the thin film equation, e.g. @oomph-lib. One argument that I often used was, "well at least the #LBM lattice (mesh) is trivial". 😎

Still have to read the paper but it's great to know that @movingpandas is useful for others

#ScientificSoftware is the foundation of excellent research & #OpenScience - but many students don't know it may be the right #career track for them…
So we're offering an #internship in the #ScenarioServices team at @IIASAVienna@twitter.com!

This article presents a study on the quality and execution of research code from publicly-available replication datasets at the Harvard Dataverse repo.

"The infrequent usage and absence of libraries also tell us what researchers are not doing in their projects. In particular, libraries that are used for code testing, such as runit, testthat, tinytest and unitizer, were not present."

Yeah, I could have told you that *grumble*

Curious about the #ScientificSoftware that we're developing at the #IIASA #Energy #Climate & #Environment program?
We're offering an #internship (3-6 months) in the #ScenarioServices team on #opensource tools for analysis & #dataviz like #pyam_iamc!
Maybe relevant for students who are not yet sure whether to pursue a PhD and would like to know more about #BestPractice of #ScientificSoftware & #FAIRdata management...

Time for an #introduction ! It's my 3rd or 4th day. Thanks for having me here. 😀

My background: PhD in #Biophysics, PostDoc in #GeneticEpidemiology, industry detour, now working in #HPC for ~8y.

Interested in #HPC, #bioinformatics, #OpenScience, #workflows (#snakemake), #RDM, #scientificsoftware and #sciencecommunication .

Former scienceblogger (German), now looking for a new plattform, since the current (scienceblogs.de) is closing down.

Nice post at Make magazine on using ImajeJ for image processing.
