Université de Lorraine

Software is often at the heart of the scientific endeavor in most disciplines, all the way from tiny pieces of it to worldwide, decades long, millions of lines projects. Its archival, openness and citability are therefore key stones on the path to open and reproducible research. Following the example of the French national plan for open science, the Université de Lorraine has included Software Heritage as a core component of its open science policy, along with the open software forge gitlab and the national open archive HAL for software development and exposure.
