Journal of Open Research Software

About this journal

The Journal of Open Research Software (JORS) features peer reviewed Software Metapapers describing research software with high reuse potential. These articles describe research software that is either developed in the course of empirical research or is explicitly designed to enable reproducible research.

JORS also publishes full-length research papers that cover different aspects of creating, maintaining and evaluating open source research software. The aim of the section is to promote the dissemination of best practice and experience related to the development and maintenance of reusable, sustainable research software.

We work with a number of specialist and institutional repositories to ensure that the associated software is professionally archived, preserved, and is openly available. Equally importantly, the software and the papers will be citable, and reuse will be tracked.
