摘要原文
The Astrophysics Source Code Library (ASCL) contains 3000 metadata recordsabout astrophysics research software and serves primarily as a registry ofsoftware, though it also can and does accept code deposit. Though the ASCL wasstarted in 1999, many astronomers, especially those new to the field, are notvery familiar with it. This hands-on virtual tutorial was geared to new usersof the resource to teach them how to use the ASCL, with a focus on findingsoftware and information about software not only in this resource, but also byusing Google and NASA's Astrophysics Data System (ADS). With computationalmethods so important to research, finding these methods is useful for examining(for transparency) and possibly reusing the software (for reproducibility or toenable new research). Metadata about software is useful for, for example,knowing how to cite software when it is used for research and studying trendsin the computational landscape. Though the tutorial was primarily aimed at newusers, advanced users were also likely to learn something new.
