Submit a paper

If OSCR has not found a paper whose authors published their code, or has found only part of its code, give the paper's DOI and the links to the code here.

How it goes

1. You give the paper's DOI and one to five links to its authors' code (GitHub, GitLab, Codeberg, Zenodo, OSF, figshare, Code Ocean, Hugging Face…). OSCR checks at once that the DOI is registered and that each link answers.
2. OSCR's own machine then reads the paper as it reads every paper, verifies the code at its source (its commit, its license, its scripts) and matches it with the paper's paragraphs.
3. A draft of the record comes back to your account page: review it, correct the links if need be, then publish it.
4. When your ORCID iD is among the paper's authors, the record is published at once. Otherwise the registry's rules publish it when each code link is proven to belong to the paper: the paper itself cites it, or its owner is proven to be one of its authors. If not, the rules leave it to the operator, 30 days at most, and say why. A README that cites the paper does not count as proof (how submissions are decided). Papers outside neuroscience stay out of OSCR.

What is kept

• The DOI, the links and your note, with your account, until the record is published or refused, and the draft of the record that OSCR made.
• No email address: a note loses any address typed into it.
• Ten submissions a day at most for one account.
