Papers describing software are an important part of computational fields of scientific research. These "software papers" are unique in a number of ways, and they require special consideration to improve their impact on the scientific community and their efficacy at conveying important information. Here, we discuss 10 specific rules for writing software papers, covering some of the different scenarios and publication types that might be encountered, and important questions from which all computational researchers would benefit by asking along the way.
描述软件的论文是科学研究计算领域的重要组成部分。这些“软件论文”在许多方面都是独特的，需要特别考虑，以提高它们对科学界的影响，并有效地传达重要信息。在这里，我们讨论了编写软件论文的 10 条具体规则，涵盖了可能遇到的一些不同场景和出版类型，以及所有计算研究人员都可以从中受益的重要问题。
