More specifically for people not following jgrahamc's full story, he and co-authors wrote a paper making the argument that data and code need to be submitted with academic papers, and the pre-eminent scientific journal, Nature, saw fit to publish their paper. So the idea is getting attention; hopefully it will also gain traction, too.
- jgrahamc 14y agoInformation about the Nature paper: http://blog.jgc.org/2012/02/case-for-open-computer-programs.html http://blog.jgc.org/2012/02/case-for-open-computer-programs.... My co-authors and I chose Nature as the target for the paper because of its reputation and because I believe in going to 11 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_to_eleven http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_to_eleven).
- latj 14y agoI didnt realize this was something that was still up for debate. In my experience source code has been a requirement since I entered the game- especially for high impact journals.
- carbocation 14y agoAs late as at least 2010, source code wasn't required for Nature or NEJM. People could request it from you, but it wasn't required to actually be submitted up front.
