JOS Artifact Evaluation
Guides researchers in preparing code and data artifacts for Journal of Software (软件学报) submissions to maximize peer-review impact.
JOS Artifact Evaluation is a specialized skill tailored for researchers preparing code, data, and reproducibility packages for the Journal of Software (《软件学报》). Unlike international ACM/IEEE conferences with formal artifact badging tracks, JOS does not currently enforce a mandatory artifact evaluation process; however, providing accessible, well-documented artifacts serves as a high-value differentiator during peer review. This skill provides a 4-tier artifact maturity model, archival and licensing workflows (e.g., Zenodo DOIs, open-source licenses), pre-submission checklists, and specific compliance guidance for CCF ChinaSoft special issues.
