The discussion document is interesting and spells out a lot for of what is intended: http://sciencecodemanifesto.org/discussion http://sciencecodemanifesto.org/discussion One thing that is missing is whether the quality of code should be used in peer review. If you are going to make software essentially part of the publication record, then is it valid to reject a paper because it's code is spaghetti and not understandable. A paper whose derivation the reviewer cannot follow because will get rejected, should a similar standard be applied to the software?
