Biography

T. Gomez-Diaz is a CNRS Research Engineer at the Gaspard-Monge Computer Science laboratory (LIGM) at the University Gustave Eiffel (Est of Paris), where her mission is to render Research Software production visible and accessible. Thus, she works there on how to improve the development and dissemination conditions of the LIGM Research Software since 2006.

She has been involved on the PLUME Project (2007–2013), where she has participated to launch and build a national catalogue of (French) Research Software. She has also participate to propose Software Management Plan tools.

In collaboration with Prof. T. Recio (University Antonio de Nebrija, Spain), she has proposed the CDUR Research Software evaluation protocol and a definition of Open Science as the political and legal framework where research outputs are shared and disseminated in order to be rendered visible, accessible, reusable.

She is currently working on further Open Science issues including Infrastructures and services to render research outputs visible, accessible, reusable.

🎤 On the dissemination/evaluation loop for Research Software

This talk explores the interconnections that links Research Software (RS) dissemination and evaluation issues, in the Open Science context, following the guidelines of the CDUR RS assessment protocol.

In our presentation of FOSDEM 2021:

Free/Open source Research Software production at the Gaspard-Monge Computer Science laboratory - Lessons learnt https://archive.fosdem.org/2021/schedule/event/openresearchgaspard_monge/

we have analyzed the evolution of several problems that rise when considering the Research Software (RS) production of a laboratory, and we have highlighted several issues that should be addressed to deal with these problems within the Open Science context. Among them we have called to the establishment of sound dissemination and evaluation procedures following the guidelines of the CDUR RS assessment protocol presented in:

Gomez-Diaz T and Recio T. On the evaluation of research software: the CDUR procedure. F1000Research 2019, 8:1353 https://doi.org/10.12688/f1000research.19994.2

CDUR comprises four steps that can be succinctly described as follows:

Citation, to deal with correct RS identification,
Dissemination, to measure good dissemination practices,
Use, devoted to the evaluation of usability aspects, and
Research, to assess the impact of the scientific work.

In this talk we would like to analyze more in depth RS dissemination and evaluation issues and the above mentioned protocols, referring, in particular, to how these protocols can be adapted to different situations that may appear in evaluation processes such as, for example, different evaluation contexts (career, review...).

We will also highlight the interconnections that link both dissemination and evaluation issues, as the RS dissemination needs to adjust to evaluation rules and only suitably disseminated RS (maybe in a restricted context) can be evaluated.

This is a collaboration work with Tomas Recio, Professor at the University Antonio de Nebrija (Madrid).

👥 FOSDEM 2021 📅 06 Feb 2021

🎤 Free/Open source Research Software production at the Gaspard-Monge Computer Science laboratory
06 Feb 2021 show details

In this talk we present the experience of the software produced, as part of the research activities, at the French Gaspard-Monge Computer Science laboratory (Laboratoire d'informatique Gaspard-Monge or LIGM in French).

The LIGM has an important production of research software with 66 software items identified for the period 2013-18, where 50 have been disseminated as FOSS. Since 2006, the Lab has worked in order to improve the dissemination and the visibility conditions of this research production [1], which includes the adoption of policies and the production and maintenance of a catalogue.

In this context, one of the first issues we had to deal with was the concept of the Lab's software, in order to answer the questions of the researchers. The second concept was the identification or reference (or citation form) of such objects.

The concept of "Logiciel d'un laboratoire" [1,2] initially proposed in 2006 has since then evolved to become research software ("Logiciel de la recherche") and it is a central concept in order to propose services and infrastructures to deal with this production in the current Open Science global context evolution [3,4], where the goals are to make it visible, accessible, reusable. It is also a central concept in order to propose research evaluation procedures related to this scientific output [5].

In this talk we will detail the evolution of this work since 2006 and we will present the current state of the art.
