The Software Sustainability Institute has been funded by Jisc to provide software deposit and preservation guidance, in particular to develop use cases and workflows for software deposit via the Research Data Shared Service (RDSS).

In March we ran a Software Deposit and Preservation Policy and Planning Workshop. That workshop brought together RDSS pilot institutions, and others interested in research software preservation, to provide a better understanding on the current practices, policy and guidance in this area. From this workshop, we have produced a report and a collection of guides on software deposit and preservation for researchers, research leaders and research data managers.

At this second workshop we will bring together research data managers, digital repository vendors, publishers, policymakers and researchers. We will present our guidance, discuss software deposit and preservation from the perspectives of the foregoing stakeholders, and identify ways in which to drive forward the adoption of best practices in software deposit and preservation.
