RSE Research
- Jan Linxweiler (Technische Universität Braunschweig)
The presentation outlines the initial approach and the preliminary results of a comprehensive survey aimed at mapping the Research Software Engineer (RSE) landscape within the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR). The primary objective of this survey is to provide a comprehensive overview of the current status of RSE activities at HZDR, including the diverse range of RSE projects being...
Since the SSI surveys, we have known that research software is an essential part of the scientific work of many researchers. However, many researchers who develop software have not received specific training for that task, with the consequent impacts on the software quality, re-usability and sustainability. Central support units at the institutions where these scientists are employed can be...
The RSE Publication Monitor is an online tool to show how much and in which context scientists write about software. As the RSE Publication Monitor is developed at the Forschungszentrum Jülich, it currently uses a publication database of the Forschungszentrum as data source.
The monitor regularly queries a database to find publications that mention certain keywords related to software....
Together with the University of Alabama, we are replicating "An empirical study of security culture in open source software communities" (https://doi.org/10.1145/3341161.3343520) with a focus on research software engineers in Germany and the US.
The original study collected quantitative evidence on how important different aspects of security culture is in the field of open source software...
To enable and ensure the reproducibility and traceability of scientific claims, it is essential that scientific publications, the corresponding datasets, and the data analysies code are made publicly available.The adoption of the FAIR4RS principles and software engineering best practices could significantly enhance the success of delivering a codebase that produces consistent, reproducible...
