There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Daniel Katz of NCSA and UIUCThe IDEaS Seminar Series presents Daniel Katz
Friday, 30 March 2018
2-3 pm in the Marcus Nanotechnology Building Room 1117-1118
Daniel Katz is the assistant director for Scientific Software and Applications at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), and research associate professor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
Title: "Software Citation Today and Tomorrow"
Abstract: Software is increasingly important in research, and some of the scholarly communications community, for example, in FORCE11, has been pushing the concept of software citations as a method to allow software developers and maintainers to get academic credit for their work: software releases are published and assigned DOIs, and software users then cite these releases when they publish research that uses the software. This talk will discuss the state of software citation, starting with history of work done by the FORCE11 Software Citation Working Group, leading to a published set of software citation principles (https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj-cs.86), as well as other prior work. It will also talk about where the community is going, what the obstacles to progress are, and how they may be overcome.
