Research software development continues to grow in importance as the volume and frequency with which data is used in research increases. The topic has long since found its way beyond the natural sciences into almost all areas of research. At the same time, many researchers are forced to learn software development on the side, as it is part of the curriculum in very few degree programs, and if it is, the training is usually limited to pure programming.
The Competence Center for Digital Research (zedif) supports researchers in this area by providing training, advice and, in some cases, actual development work.
We will be presenting some of our consulting cases at our stand. We will show what goals the research projects pursued, what software had to be developed or adapted for them and how we implemented this together with the researchers. Specifically, we present three of our consulting cases.
For example, we advised a physics project on software development and measurement data management, developed an extension for a survey system for a social science study and set up a service for automatic transcription.
