Software, such as computational code, scripts, models, notebooks and libraries, is fundamental to research and yet is often overlooked. However, the value of software could be recognised if it were cited in the same way that other sources of information, such as articles and books, are cited. So, a set of community-driven guidelines serve as a useful starting point to support proper attribution and credit of software. In this blog, we discuss the task force responsible for producing this set of recommendations and how it can be used and help the scholarly publishing community.
Last year, the Health Research Board (HRB) joined the global fight against COVID-19.

The funding call covered medical countermeasures, health service readiness, and social and policy countermeasures to COVID-19.
