论文摘要
引用数据和软件是提供学术信用并促进访问研究对象的一种手段。引用原则鼓励作者在论文中提供稳定链接的对象的完整描述。由于Jupyter笔记本汇总了数据,软件和其他对象,它们可能会促进或阻碍引用,信用以及访问数据和软件。我们报告了5年(2014- 2018年)在天文学中对木星笔记本电脑的参考研究。参考文献迅速增加,但不到一半的参考文献导致了可以找到和打开的木星笔记本。 Jupyter笔记本似乎比提供研究对象的访问更适合支持研究过程。我们建议作者引用单个数据和软件对象,并稳定出版物中引用的任何笔记本。出版商应增加论文中允许的引用数量,并采用促进信用和发现的描述性元数据富含引文样式。
Citing data and software is a means to give scholarly credit and to facilitate access to research objects. Citation principles encourage authors to provide full descriptions of objects, with stable links, in their papers. As Jupyter notebooks aggregate data, software, and other objects, they may facilitate or hinder citation, credit, and access to data and software. We report on a study of references to Jupyter notebooks in astronomy over a 5-year period (2014-2018). References increased rapidly, but fewer than half of the references led to Jupyter notebooks that could be located and opened. Jupyter notebooks appear better suited to supporting the research process than to providing access to research objects. We recommend that authors cite individual data and software objects, and that they stabilize any notebooks cited in publications. Publishers should increase the number of citations allowed in papers and employ descriptive metadata-rich citation styles that facilitate credit and discovery.
