  The main output of the FORCE11 Software Citation working group(https://www.force11.org/group/software-citation-working-group) was a paper onsoftware citation principles (https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj-cs.86) published inSeptember 2016. This paper laid out a set of six high-level principles forsoftware citation (importance, credit and attribution, unique identification,persistence, accessibility, and specificity) and discussed how they could beused to implement software citation in the scholarly community. In a series oftalks and other activities, we have promoted software citation using theseincreasingly accepted principles. At the time the initial paper was published,we also provided guidance and examples on how to make software citable, thoughwe now realize there are unresolved problems with that guidance. The purpose ofthis document is to provide an explanation of current issues impactingscholarly attribution of research software, organize updated implementationguidance, and identify where best practices and solutions are still needed.[Journal_ref: ]

  Digital Persistent Identifiers (DPIs) have emerged as a potential compliance tool for agencies and institutions in the area of research security, and NSPM-33 makes clear that federal research funding agencies must establish policies for funded researchers to register with DPI services.  So, it’s critical for research administrators to have a solid understanding of what DPIs are and how they work.  This webinar will provide essential information about how DPIs are used in SciENcv, data management and sharing, tracking scholarly activities, and tracking funding. This webinar was rescheduled to September 23 from its original date of August 25
