Very excited to see CZI using the gold standard dataset, excited to share this with the 30+ @UTiSchool and @HustonTillotson students that annotated the publications, supported by @epistemographer and @SloanFoundation
📣 Very excited to announce this new dataset—to our knowledge, one of the largest datasets of software mentions extracted from the scientific literature—to help study the impact of research software (and open source in particular) on science. Check it out!

Good demonstration of value of pushing upstream. Also shout out to github for allowing posting video screen caps in issues (shift-cmd-5, record, drag to github issue).
A nice demonstration 🧵 of the model @2i2c_org hopes to enable. We run a hub for a databases course that @jameshowison is teaching. We use repo2docker to generate the environment via This week, he caught a bug that affects all Binder users as well! /1

Check out softcite-dataset for gold standard collection of software mentions in publications tuned for ML Come help with to find them all :)
Interesting to see all the different ways in which software is referenced in academic papers. Slide by Neil Chue Hong of @SoftwareSaved referencing Howison and Bullard (2016) at #LIBER2021. Reminds me of conversations around citations of digitised collections.
