Collect links to software queries on public portals

[olexandr-konovalov]

May be interesting to have a collection of links to search queries in public research portals of some universities. For example:

• University of Aberdeen
• University of Birmingham
• Heriot-Watt University
• University of Manchester
• University of St Andrews

[mwoodbri]

• Imperial College London

• University of York

• University of Edinburgh

University College London - https://iris.ucl.ac.uk/iris/search does not allow to specify the type "software" in search parameters.

• University of Southampton

Interestingly, this doesn't include application notes- there's no way of searching specifically for application notes. There's also no way of searching ePrints for content published by Zenodo either, which would be a good way of tracking software not listed as Software (thanks @jag1g13).

Thanks @smangham! ePrints is in our wishlist for instructions. What is "application notes" BTW?

[smangham]

Ah, Southampton has a CRIS setup where we enter data into Pure but can only search it via ePrints, so I can't help with instructions unfortunately.

@alex-konovalov 'Application note' is a term some journals use to describe a paper which is announcing the release of a piece of software. They're short (usually max 5 pages) and just describe how the software works and who might want to use it.

This is a brief description from JCIM (a computational chemistry journal): https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ci500685s
