Description
Software tools and the algorithms underlying them have become critical to the advancement of astronomical research. The contribution of those who develop astronomical software can and should be directly linked to the discoveries made using these tools. The American Astronomical Society Journals, including the Astrophysical Journal and the Astronomical Journal, explicitly welcome articles whose purpose is to describe the design and function of software with relevance to research in astronomy and astrophysics.
In this talk, I will describe what a software paper is, some best practices on how to write one, and the editorial processes that happen behind the scenes to get your manuscript from an idea to a published paper. I will further discuss a few features of publishing software papers within the AAS journals, including Living Papers and our partnership with the Journal of Open Source Software.
