	Title:
	Archiving and Referencing all the source code towards recognizing software in academia

	Abstract:

	Software source code is everywhere, with tens of millions of developers
	worldwide, and it is of paramount importance to provide a universal
	archive and reference system for all its applications. Software Heritage
	has taken over this task.

	Software is, together with articles and data, a key ingredient of academic
	research, in all fields, hence preservation of, and access to the source code of
	Computer programs is a pillar of Open Science, and a necessary step to
	understand, verify, adapt and reuse the tools that we produce and use in the
	scholarly world.

	In this talk, we will present Software Heritage, a universal long term archive
	specifically designed for software source code that provides intrinsic
	identifiers for all the artifacts it stores, at all granularities, down to the
	level of the line of code. Software Heritage is now providing the infrastructure
	for depositing and referencing software source code, in collaboration with
	national and international open access portals.
