Journal of Open Research Software (JORS)

Overview

The Journal of Open Research Software (JORS) features peer reviewed Software Metapapers describing research software with high reuse potential. We are working 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.

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.

Update

In March, JORS put forth an announcement for applications related to new associate editors to service and contribute to the evaluation and publication of manuscripts related to open source software. After a review process, I am happy to announce that I will be serving as an associate editor for JORS. Looking forward to an interesting 3 years of service in this role.

Submissions

If you are interested in submitting a new manuscript on your open source research software, please head over to the journal website. If there are any questions related to the submission or review process, feel free to reach out to me.
