Aims & scope



Open Research Computation publishes peer reviewed articles that describe the development, capacities, and uses of software designed for use by researchers. Submissions relating to software for use in any area of research are welcome as are articles dealing with algorithms, useful code snippets, as well as large applications or web services, and libraries. Open Research Computation differs from other journals with a software focus in its requirement for the software source code to be made available under an Open Source Initiative compliant license, and in its assessment of the quality of documentation and testing of the software. In addition to articles describing software Open Research Computation also welcomes submissions that review or describe developments relating to software based tools for research. These include, but are not limited to, reviews or proposals for standards, discussion of best practice in research software development, educational and support resources and tools for researchers that develop or use software based tools.

Editor's profile

Cameron Neylon

Cameron Neylon "Research is all about testing and re-testing ideas, tools, methods and concepts. In the past it wasn't easy to make available the details of how research was done but today we have the ability to share software, analysis, data, and computational tools. I am really excited that with Open Research Computation we have an opportunity to help make research more reproducible."

Cameron Neylon is a Senior Scientist in Biomolecular Sciences at ISIS Neutron Scattering Facility within the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council, and a writer and advocate for Open Research Practice.
