Receiving credit for software: slides and resources

Though computational methods are widely used in many disciplines, those who author these methods have not always received credit for their work. The slides available here cover recent changes in astronomy, and indeed, in many other disciplines, that include new journals, policy changes for existing journals, community resources, changes to infrastructure, and availability of new workflows that make recognizing the contributions of software authors easier. They also cover steps coders can take to increase the probability of having their software cited correctly and steps researchers can take to improve their articles by including citations for the computational methods that enabled their research.
