  • Do’s and don’ts for writing impactful papers about scientific software
  • Joseph D. Romano, PhD. Postdoctoral Researcher, Institute for Biomedical Informatics, University of Pennsylvania
  • Writing peer-reviewed journal articles describing scientific software has become a regular part of computational and informatics research. These "software papers" are unique in various ways, and they require special considerations to improve their impact on the scientific community and their efficacy at conveying information. In this talk -- based on a "Ten Simple Rules" paper we recently published in PLoS Computational Biology -- we explore and discuss specific steps that researchers can take to write better software papers, with specific focus on maximizing impact and fostering a richer computational ecosystem for biomedical research.
