FAIRsharing record for: Five Recommendations for FAIR Software

This FAIRsharing record describes: The Five Recommendations for FAIR Software is a collaboration between the Netherlands eScience Center and DANS (the Dutch national centre of expertise and repository for research data). The recommendations consist of five concrete steps researchers can take to increase the FAIRness of their research software: depositing software in a publicly accessible repository with version control, giving the software a license, registering the software in an appropriate registry, making the software citeable, and using a software quality checklist. The webpage explains why each step is important and offers guidance and resources for following the five steps.
