Episode 37: The long tail of research software
Authors
Abstract
Who maintains the scripts a field depends on once the graduate student who wrote them has left? The analysis draws on a corpus assembled from institutional repositories, preprint servers and publisher metadata feeds, and the full dataset together with the code needed to reproduce every figure is deposited under a permissive licence. Limitations, including coverage gaps in non-English sources, are set out in the discussion.
