Supporting an Open Source Software Journal: Strategies for Effective Editing and Engagement
Event box
Zoom information + registration
This month the Bay Area Open Science Group will be joined by Kelly L. Rowland. Kelly will discuss her experiences as editor for JOSS, a journal dedicated to publishing articles about open source research software across domains. JOSS’ scope includes software that solves complex modeling problems in a scientific context, supports the functioning of research instruments or the execution of research experiments, or extracts knowledge from large data sets. Kelly is a Computer Systems Engineer in the User Engagement Group at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC), a division of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). Before joining NERSC, she obtained her Ph.D. from UC Berkeley in Nuclear Engineering with a Designated Emphasis on Computational Science and Engineering. Kelly has been an editor for the Journal of Open Source Software (JOSS) since 2021.
Bay Area Open Science Group
The Bay Area Open Science Group is a growing community for Bay Area academics and researchers interested in incorporating open science into their research, teaching, and learning. Targeting students, faculty, and staff at UCSF, Berkeley, and Stanford, the goal of the community is to increase awareness of and engagement with all things open science, including open access articles, open research data, open source software, and open educational resources. Through this work the group hopes to connect researchers with tools they can use to make the products and process of science more equitable and reproducible.
Meetings:
We meet on the 4th Tuesday of the month, 2 - 3 PM Pacific on Zoom.
