#introductions I'm Stephan, originally an English Philologist and Linguist, now a #SoftwareEngineering researcher at the German Aerospace Center's (https://social.bund.de/@dlr) Institute of Software Technology in #Berlin.

I'm a 2018 Fellow of the Software Sustainability Institute (https://mastodon.social/@SoftwareSaved), founder and lead of the #CitationFileFormat (https://citation-file-format.github.io/) and co-founder of de-RSE (https://mastodon.social/@de_rse).

I work on #ResearchSoftware, #SoftwareCitation, #SoftwarePublication, #SoftwareIntelligence, #SoftwareSustainability, #EmpiricalSoftwareEngineering.

New preprint: "Extending and Applying Automated HERMES #SoftwarePublication Workflows" by Sophie Kernchen, @led02, me, Michael Fritzsche and colleagues.

Came out of a #deRSE24 workshop and was really fun, especially as one of the co-authors is an intern from a local high school 🏫 who extended the 'hermes' Python package with a plugin to harvest metadata from Python manifests.

It took him ≪ fortnight. 🤯

I wish I was this talented. 🙌

📢 Out now:

"Towards Research Software-ready Libraries", a paper by me, @astruck and O. Bertuch discussing what libraries can do to support research software in their respective spheres.

#ResearchSoftware #SoftwarePublication #SoftwareCitation #AcademicLibraries

#StackOverflow announce Labs ("improving the developer experience across products" or similar), arguing: "Accuracy is fundamental. That comes from attributed, peer-reviewed sources that provide transparency."

Sounds like they're facing similar issues like us academics/#ResearchSoftwareEngineers do with #SoftwarePublication and #SoftwareCitation, software authorship, #Reproducibility and the like.

Perhaps there's something to learn from them along the way...

Excited to be on my way to an @NSF funded workshop on community-led data & software publishing in Pismo Beach, CA.

I'll be wearing my #CitationFileFormat and #HERMES hats, and am looking forward to meet lots of people from great initiatives and projects for the first time, to discuss aims, ideas and collaborations to improve 💻 #SoftwarePublication.

(Unfortunately, the weather doesn't look like I can sneak in a 🏄 session.)
