Description

The Research Software Quality toolkit (RSQkit, https://everse.software/RSQKit/) is a knowledge hub developed within the EVERSE project (https://everse.software/) that aims to become a permanent, community-driven resource for research software quality expertise. This interactive workshop provides hands-on experience with collaborative content development, where participants will have a chance to contribute their expert knowledge and will be given recognition for their contribution.

Through guided exercises, participants will experience the complete contribution cycle - from content creation through peer review to proper attribution of their work. Contributions will be formally recognized and credited, ensuring participants receive acknowledgment for their expertise and input. Attendees will work in small groups to develop and refine content covering key aspects of research software quality, including:

  • Technical best practices
  • FAIR principles
  • Sustainability guidelines
  • Software management approaches
  • Metadata standards

The workshop focuses on enhancing research software quality through collaborative knowledge sharing, providing participants with practical experience in developing, reviewing, and integrating community-driven content.

Key Details:

  • Duration: 2 hours
  • Location: Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)
  • Start Time: 10:00 AM

Expected Outcomes:

  • Practical contributions to the RSQkit
  • Experience in collaborative documentation development
  • Formal recognition of individual contributions
