Research source code and software
Source code and software have specific issues: they can be tools, products of research and subjects of research, all at the same time. To provide you with the best possible support in terms of development and best practices for dissemination, we can assist you with:
- software management plan templates or advice on how to include your software in your data management plan;
- depositing your source code in HAL and archiving it in Software Heritage to guarantee its long-term availability and reproducibility;
- choosing a software licence based on the goal you have for the dissemination of your source code;
- getting started with platforms, as part of workshops in the Fabrique de la science ouverte awareness-raising scheme, for example on reproducibility and software forges (GitLab, accessible from the ENT);
- training sessions for doctoral students with the Doctoral College (registration via ADUM), and workshops for all university staff.
For any questions regarding the production or dissemination of research source code & software:
Recommendations of the ADAC unit
Following the publication of the Principles of governance for research data, algorithms and source code, several more practical recommendations were added to the University's policy:
- Recommendation #1 : Using software forges (French only)
- Recommendation #2 : Archiving research source code on Software Heritage (French only)
