Since 2016, Software Heritage has fostered numerous scientific partnerships and publications leveraging our unique code archive. We encourage your contributions.
Extending the archive
We collect and update all public code by quickly finding it online, saving it, and tracking any changes.
Evolving the archive
We save the history of code changes from many systems. This needs a simple, lasting format that will work far into the future.
Connecting the archive
To support scientific sharing and reproducibility, the source code of research articles is gathered in Software Heritage and correctly linked to all Open Access platforms.
Get involved
Help us tackle the scientific challenges of preserving code at scale. Explore Software Heritage research via these resources:
Mailing list
The public swh-science mailing list is for general discussions on Software Heritage and science. Join the discussions.
Working groups
We host scientific working groups to address challenges in source code collection, preservation, indexing, and related areas. These groups will launch incrementally over the coming months, and several charters are now available.
