The Journal of Open Source Software

The Journal of Open Source Software (JOSS) is an open-access journal dedicated to publishing research software packages, emphasizing developer-friendly practices. It operates without article processing charges or subscription fees, making it accessible for researchers. Recently, JOSS has published several papers, including "harmonize-wq," which focuses on standardizing water quality data, and "ASIMTools," a framework for atomic simulations. Other notable publications include "AutoBZ.jl," which deals with Brillouin zone integration, and "biopixR," aimed at extracting insights from biological images. The journal also features tools for additive manufacturing and data-driven modal decomposition, among others. JOSS is affiliated with the Open Source Initiative and is part of the Open Journals project, supported by NumFOCUS.

Looks like a cool project! I gotta say though, I’m still always surprised how few papers include code. I hope it continues to become more common to include code in the future.

If you're interested in this, they have a pretty good podcast that interviews paper authors: https://blog.joss.theoj.org/2024/01/introducing-josscast

In a similar vein, there is Journal of Machine Learning Research that publishes open source software papers
