Awesome open science for software and computational science
awesome-open-science-software lists resources about open science and software:
- software as main experimental tool (aka computational methods)
- software as main study object (software engineering, programming language, systems software, ...).
- software support for open science (communication, data sharing, etc)

Software as Research Object
Software data curation and preservation (edit to add one):
- Software Heritage project collects and preserves software. The project motivation is that "software embodies our technical and scientific knowledge and humanity cannot afford the risk of losing it." (project lead by Roberto Di Cosmo).
- tera-PROMISE - Research dataset repository specializing in software engineering research datasets.
- Zenodo - operated by CERN, contains several collections about software data:
- Data Archiving and Networked Services - DANS (The Netherlands)
Others:
- Awesome-msr: curated repository of software engineering data sets
- The Evaluate Collaboratory (managed by Matthias Hauswirth) is a hub for everybody interested in understanding and improving the state of practice in experimental evaluation in software science.
- The Github group "opensciences" (initiated by Tim Menzies) contains the source of http://openscience.us/, which is an "open science for software engineering portal".
- SoftwareEngineeringToolDemos This Github group gathers software prototypes associated with software-engineering publications (maintained by Emerson Murphy-Hill and his students).
Software Support for Open Science
- IEEE DataPort is an open repository of datasets hosted by IEEE
- Dataverse A data repository framework to share and publish research data
- Code as a Research Object is a prototype integration between Github and figshare.
- dokieli is a client-side editor for decentralised article publishing, annotations and social interactions for science. Its source code is open source under the Apache License, Version 2.0. Maintained by Sarven Capadisli (Github) et al.
- Open Science Framework (OSF.io) provides project management support for researchers across the entire research lifecycle. Developed by the Center for Open Science.
- Anonymous Github is a system to anonymize open-science Github repositories before referring to them in a double-blind paper submission.
