30 -(% style="line-height: 1.4em;" %)The Journal of Open Source Software (JOSS) is an [[open source>>url:http://github.com/openjournals/joss||style="line-height: 1.4em; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"]] developer-friendly journal for research software packages. JOSS has a (GitHub based) formal peer review process that is designed to //improve the quality of the software submitted//. Upon acceptance into JOSS, a CrossRef DOI is minted and we list your paper on the JOSS website. The JOSS "paper" is deliberately extremely short and only allowed to include: 1) A short abstract describing the high-level functionality of the software (and perhaps a figure), 2) A list of the authors of the software (together with their affiliations), 2) A list of key references including a link to the software archive. Papers are not allowed to include other things such as descriptions of API functionality, as this should be included in the software documentation. JOSS follows the OSI definition of open source and all submissions are required to carry an OSI approved license. Copyright of JOSS papers is retained by submitting authors and accepted papers are subject to a [[Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License>>url:http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/||style="line-height: 1.4em; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"]].

JOSS is a non-profit journal and does not charge authors a publication fee. The primary purpose of a JOSS paper is to enable citation credit to be given to authors of research software. By associating a paper and CrossRef DOI to the software academics are able to cite the software like any other academic research outcome. As such researchers are rewarded for sharing their open source software through sharing and publishing of their work with JOSS.

32 32  The goals of JOSS align well with the OSI mission statement since JOSS: 1) aims to stimulate the sharing of open source scientific research software, 2) enables peer reviewed publication of high quality open source software, 3) enables citation of such software like any other academic research outcome.
