4. federica bianco NYU @fedhere Problem statement Academia is a merit based system
5. federica bianco NYU @fedhere Problem statement Academia is a merit based system tries to be recognition
6. federica bianco NYU @fedhere Problem statement Of course you should cite the software you use! http://sciencecodemanifesto.org/
7. federica bianco NYU @fedhere Problem statement Of course you should cite the software you use! but it’s not always obvious how http://sciencecodemanifesto.org/
8. federica bianco NYU @fedhere Influence == citation ? https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/asi.23538
9. federica bianco NYU @fedhere Influence == citation ? 90 papers randomly selected in bio • did they use software • did they cite software • how did they cite software https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/asi.23538

30. federica bianco NYU @fedhere help your users help you maybe the solution is in your own hands instead: how can you foster good citation practices for your software?
31. federica bianco NYU @fedhere help your users help you maybe the solution is in your own hands instead: how can you foster good citation practices for your software? • Get a DOI
32. federica bianco NYU @fedhere help your users help you maybe the solution is in your own hands instead: how can you foster good citation practices for your software? • Get a DOI • Give users instructions on how to cite your software federica bianco NYU
33. federica bianco NYU @fedhere help your users help you maybe the solution is in your own hands instead: how can you foster good citation practices for your software? • Get a DOI • Give users instructions on how to cite your software
34. federica bianco NYU @fedhere help your users help you maybe the solution is in your own hands instead: how can you foster good citation practices for your software? • Get a DOI • Give users instructions on how to cite your software
35. federica bianco NYU @fedhere help your users help you maybe the solution is in your own hands instead: how can you foster good citation practices for your software? • Get a DOI • Give users instructions on how to cite your software - more data driven approaches
36. federica bianco NYU @fedhere http://citeas.org/ help your users help you
37. federica bianco NYU @fedhere help your users help you maybe the solution is in your own hands instead: how can you foster good citation practices for your software? • Get a DOI • Give users instructions on how to cite your software • Use tools on your software development platform to measure impact (wont higher your H-index but can go on your CV!)
