Software and sociology in UK astronomy [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy and Geophysics, 2002
I discuss the remit of Starlink's software strategy groups and a particular item on the agenda of a meeting of the image processing software strategy group held on 26th January 2001: `Why don't people use Starlink software?'. The answer to this question was speculated to be primarily a sociological effect: those people supervising UK astronomy Ph.D ...

Credit Lost: Two Decades of Software Citation in Astronomy

open access: yes, 2021
Software has been a crucial contributor to scientific progress in astronomy for decades, but practices that enable machine-actionable citations have not been consistently applied to software itself. Instead, software citation behaviors developed independently from standard publication mechanisms and policies, resulting in human-readable citations that ...
