Do you write code as part of your research? Could your software benefit others? Then publish it!
You can publish a peer-reviewed paper about your research software! This not only gives your work formal recognition but also increases its visibility and impact!


This recording is a 1-hour Lunch Byte seminar where we introduced the Journal of Open Source Software (JOSS)—a leading academic journal dedicated to publishing research software papers. Since its launch in 2016, JOSS has published 2,400+ papers across diverse scientific fields, supporting software for complex modeling, research experiments, scientific instruments, and more.

We walk you through the JOSS submission process, from preparing your software and manuscript to peer review and final publication. You’ll also gain insights from both submitter and reviewer perspectives!
