Abstract

This paper uses the accepted submissions from the Workshop on Sustainable Software for Science: Practice and Experiences (WSSSPE5.1) held in Manchester, UK in September 2017 and the speed blogs written during the event to examine the state of research software. It presents a schematic of the space, then examines coverage in terms of topics, actors, actees, and themes by both the submissions and the blogs.
