DOI: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1009481
Abstract: Functional, usable, and maintainable open-source software is increasingly essential to scientific research, but there is a large variation in formal training for software development and maintainability. Here, we propose 10 “rules” centered on 2 best… read more here.
