软件是现代研究的关键部分，但在整个学术生态系统中，对它的认可和引用几乎没有得到支持。受FORCE11数据引用工作组活动的启发，本文件总结了FORCE11软件引用工作组的建议及其在2015年6月至2016年4月期间的活动。根据对现有社区做法的审查，工作组的目标是制定一套综合的引文原则，以鼓励跨学科和跨地点广泛采用一致的软件引文政策。我们的工作在这里以一组软件引用原则的形式呈现，讨论了开发这些原则的动机，审查了现有的社区实践，并讨论了这些原则对不同利益相关者的要求。关于如何实施这些原则的工作实例和可能的技术解决方案将在另一篇论文中讨论。
Software is a critical part of modern research and yet there is little support across the scholarly ecosystem for its acknowledgement and citation. Inspired by the activities of the FORCE11 working group focused on data citation, this document summarizes the recommendations of the FORCE11 Software Citation Working Group and its activities between June 2015 and April 2016. Based on a review of existing community practices, the goal of the working group was to produce a consolidated set of citation principles that may encourage broad adoption of a consistent policy for software citation across disciplines and venues. Our work is presented here as a set of software citation principles, a discussion of the motivations for developing the principles, reviews of existing community practice, and a discussion of the requirements these principles would place upon different stakeholders. Working examples and possible technical solutions for how these principles can be implemented will be discussed in a separate paper.
