论文摘要
我们为可持续开发的研究软件提供了“生产力”的新概念定义。由于短期偏见，现有的定义存在缺陷，从而贬低了长期影响，我们认为这是主要目标。长期观察生产力有助于解决该问题。我们将开发过程的输出视为知识和用户满意度。用户满意度被用作有效质量的代理。明确强调所产生的所有知识，而不仅仅是可行动的知识（代码）意味着，在生产研究软件时，人类可用的知识（即文档）也应受到极大的价值。
We present a new conceptual definition of 'productivity' for sustainably developing research software. Existing definitions are flawed as they are short-term biased, thus devaluing long-term impact, which we consider to be the principal goal. Taking a long-term view of productivity helps fix that problem. We view the outputs of the development process as knowledge and user satisfaction. User satisfaction is used as a proxy for effective quality. The explicit emphasis on all knowledge produced, rather than just the operationalizable knowledge (code) implies that human-reusable knowledge, i.e. documentation, should also be greatly valued when producing research software.
