Data Bytes: Creating Software Management Plans for Open Science Initiatives

Description

This session is designed to help researchers understand the core components of a software management plan, an essential element of an open science and data management plan. Attendees will explore what a software management plan is, why it's crucial for open science, and presenters will provide workflows, best practices, and training resources. The session will cover key elements of a robust plan, including version control practices, documentation standards, licensing considerations, and strategies for ensuring long-term accessibility and reproducibility of scientific software.
