# Accessibility and preservation

## Objective
To ensure accessibility and preservation, researchers and software engineers are strongly recommended to follow the archival and sharing recommendations below.
To ensure accessibility and preservation, researchers and software engineers are strongly recommended to follow the archival and sharing recommendations below.

## Recommendations
### RSMD-2.1
**Essential ☆☆☆**

Archive the source code repository in the <span style="text-decoration:underline;">universal source code archive</span>, [Software Heritage](https://archive.softwareheritage.org/), using the [save code now,](save.softwareheritage.org) to ensure long-term access to the full development history.

* This method can be used for software at any level of maturity when software is publicly available.

### RSMD-2.2
**Essential ☆☆☆**

Archive software source code in a <span style="text-decoration:underline;">scholarly repository</span> (e.g [Zenodo](https://zenodo.org/), [HAL](https://hal.science/)) to ensure that software can be found and accessed in a _scholarly context_.

<span style="text-decoration:underline;">Note</span>: Proprietary software can be deposited in an institutional repository.

* This method should be used when a software object is ready to be reported and shared. Some repositories offer the possibility to create a software record with the archived copy in RSMD-2.1 (e.g [HAL](https://www.softwareheritage.org/2023/04/04/swhid-deposit-hal/))



### RSMD-2.3
**Important ☆☆**

Register software projects in a disciplinary or community registry (e.g [ascl.net](https://ascl.net/), [bio.tools](https://bio.tools/), [swMath](https://zbmath.org/software/), [RRID portal](https://scicrunch.org/resources/about/resource), [RSD](https://research-software-directory.org/), [WikiData](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Main_Page), [DataCite](https://datacite.org/)) to ensure that software can be found and accessed.

To answer this recommendation, semi-automatic tools should be provided by infrastructures to reduce duplication of effort done by researchers or software creators.

<span style="text-decoration:underline;">Note:</span> Proprietary software can be registered in an institutional catalog (e.g the INRIA BIL).
