Overview
Warning
This is a work in progress. Expect disruptive changes.
Research software must be formally published to satisfy FAIR principles and unlock academic credit. Publication repositories enable this and provide PIDs for software versions, but only through tedious, mostly manual process.
The HERMES workflow enables automated publication of rich research software metadata and artifacts to publication repositories using open source tooling.
We follow a push based model and run in continuous integration (CI) infrastructures integrated in common code platforms such as GitHub or GitLab to avoid going out of service and overcome limitations of pull-based web services.
Rich descriptive metadata is the key element to useful software publications. We harvest existing metadata from source code repos and connected platforms, then process, collate and present them for curation, thus preparing software for automatic submission to publication repositories.

Feedback
This is an open repository to collect feedback on the HERMES workflow.
We see our project as part of a global and inter-disciplinary effort to improve the state of the art in research software engineering, maintenance and scholarly communications around research software. We therefore appreciate any feedback you may have on the HERMES project itself and any of its outputs.
How to give feedback
Either create an issue in our project repository or send us an email.
