This group builds on the previous Software Citation Working Group, which developed and publicized an initial set of software citation principles (https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj-cs.86). The activities of the Software Citation Implementation Working Group are: work with relevant stakeholders (publishers, librarians, archivists, funders, repository developers, other community forums with related working groups, etc.) to: The group does much of its work via GitHub: https://github.com/force11/force11-sciwg Group

FORCE11 is a community of scholars, librarians, archivists, publishers and research funders that has arisen organically to help facilitate the change toward improved knowledge creation and sharing. FORCE11 has grown from a small group into an open movement of like-minded individuals and stakeholders associated with emerging technologies, policies, funding mechanisms and business models. The Researcher’s Voice in Transforming Scholarly Communications In

Increases in research data-sharing practices have highlighted a growing number of ethical challenges related to the sharing and publication of datasets. While ethical best practices, guidelines, and recommendations for addressing ethical issues related to journal articles are well documented, there are currently no established ethics standards, guidelines, or recommendations for data publications. In order to address this gap, this Working

OUTPUTS COMPLETED AND ENDORSED BY RDA: FAIRsharing – A registry of curated and interlinked records on standards (for identifying, reporting, and citing data and metadata), repositories, and journal publisher and funder data policies in all disciplines. These will provide curated, community-vetted descriptions and knowledge graphs representing these resources and their interlinks.Recommendations to guide users and the producers of these resources to select and describe them, facilitating discovery, adoption and

One of the major challenges of data-driven research is to facilitate knowledge discovery by assisting humans and machines in their discovery of, access to, integration and analysis of data and their associated research objects, e.g., algorithms, software, and workflows. To address this, an initial effort to define a DATA FAIRPORT1 began in 2014 at the Lorentz workshop and transitioned into developing a

Description Software, and in particular source code, plays an important role in science: it is used in all research fields to produce, transform and analyse research data, and is sometimes itself an object of research and/or an output of research. Unlike research data and scientific articles, though, software source code has only very recently been recognised as important subject matter in a few initiatives related to scholarly publication and

This working group focuses on attribution for research products (including publications, datasets, software, research resources, etc.). We recognize that contributor roles can extend beyond those asserted for authorship and while related, are also distinct.  We seek to discuss and define methods to recognize all those who contribute to a project, publication, or other research object, whether or not they are

Description Scholarly Communication has undergone significant changes in the recent years, not only in regard to the expansion of its methodologies and practices, to the development of a media-rich, open multiplatform world, but also in relation to collaboration and participation at a global scale. We believe language and culture are key elements for fostering a more open and equal participation.

We’re seeking to understand and normalise current global Open Scholarship practices within the research ecosystem. As a first step the Sloan Foundation is funding us to: Engage with a range of open science initiatives in ongoing dialogue and improved collaboration Document varied initiatives and emerging best practices in the development and delivery of crisis and post-crisis online Open Science Produce
