Open source software

Learn out about researchers' work on open source software.

Open research software, or open-source research software, refers to the use and development of software for analysis, simulation, visualisation, etc. where the full source code is available. (...) open-source software must be distributed in source and/or compiled form (with the source code available in the latter case), and must be shared under a licence that allows modification, derivation and redistribution.
