Opening the computational box: software sharing and the ASCL
Though computational methods are widely used in many disciplines, many researchers do not share the source code they develop, making their research difficult to verify and replicate. This presentation focuses on what software users and authors can do to share codes effectively, increase research reproducibility, and meet new requirements established by funders and journals. It will also cover how the Astrophysics Source Code Library (ASCL) improves the transparency of science by registering research code, its efforts to increase software findability, and how astronomers can get credit for their codes and better support the research record.
