Introduction by OpenMethods Editor (Joris van Zundert): The Research Software Directory of the Netherlands eScience Institute provides easy access to software, source code, and its documentation. More importantly, it makes it easy to cite software, which is highly advisable when using software to derive research results. The Research Software Directory positions itself as a platform that eases scientific referencing and reproducibility of software based research—good peer praxis that is still underdeveloped in the humanities. 

A Research Software Directory is a kind of content management system, tailored to software. A Research Software Directory aims to improve the findability, citability, and reproducibility of the software advertised in it.
