Announcing The Journal of Open Source Software

The Journal of Open Source Software(JOSS) has been announced.JOSS is an open source, developer-friendly journal for research softwarepackages. "As academics, it's important for us to be able to measurethe impact of our work, but available tools & metrics are woefullylacking when it comes to tracking research output that doesn't look like apaper. A 2009 survey of more than 2000 researchers found that > 90% ofthem consider software important or very important to their work - but evenif you've followed this GitHub guide for archiving a GitHub repository withZenodo (and acquired a DOI in the process), citations to your work probablyaren't being counted by the people that matter."
