In this editorial theme of 'software citation' we want to look at what initiatives and project are working on these issues of software citation. We also want to look practical steps that a variety of users and public institutions can take to improve their systems for software citation. Our initial use cases are:
- a. the software maker or contributor,
- b. the researcher citing the software, and
- c. the researcher reading/using research literature/output and wanting to reuse the software.
Our themes are run over a flexible time period, but as default for four weeks, and then periodically we will revisit a theme. For this initial theme we will start early June and carry on over June and July. Our editorial approach is to support the Open Science community in its ongoing work in a given area. We do this by carrying short blog posts, and by maintaining a 'notebook' to engaging in discourse and carry resource documentation.

- Re-use and journals. Blog. How software is described and documented so that its citation can be of use to future practitioners and readers of research publications. e.g. 2018 Nature Software Submission Guidelines’, 2018. https://doi.org/10.1038/d41586-018-02741-4
- Basics guidance for key users: a. software contributecontributor, b. citation in research outputs, c. research literature (/outputs ) reader/user.
- Project: #openscifi Jupyter https://jupyter.org Binder. Note: You can get DOIs for repositories via tools like zenodo. Since a repo is the input format for binder this fits well so you can do doi -> repo -> binder (Binder Gitter)

Activity of theme time period (potential)
Provide concrete guidance for our three research users: a. software contributor, b. citation in research outputs, c. research literature/outputs reader/user.
Issues and questions:
Lobby OpenAIRE to include software. Currently OpenAIRE policy is not to include it – forum issue
