Show that open software in a paper brings more impact

Open jure opened this issue 10 years ago • 13 comments

The idea was proposed yesterday by @npch, who wants to show that including software in your paper in an open manner (open license, link to repository) is correlated with that paper getting more citations, downloads, views, etc.

This would be a similar undertaking to what @hpiwowar and @tjv have done for open data: https://peerj.com/articles/175/

Since I'm currently also at the @SoftwareSaved Collaborations Workshop, I was thinking maybe it's an interesting hackathon project for both this unconf and the workshop. :beetle: :beetle: in one :facepunch:
