Abstract
Development of the software used for research at PIK is discussed in order to strengthen quality and reproducibility. Often, efforts put into good maintenance of software is not sufficiently recognised. However, the community is actively working on concepts and solutions enabling researchers to publish software, cite it and be credited for it. Software must meet the quality criteria of the scientific discourse to be a valuable and citeable contribution to science. Solutions also need to be developed regarding versioning and documentation, traceability, reproducibility and reusability. Furthermore, the archiving of source code and executables, the use of persistent identifiers, and metrics measuring productivity, impact, and recognition have to be addressed. SciForge is a network and a currently running project at GFZ addressing these questions. In the joint seminar, the current debate on scientific software publication will be presented and discussed.
