Software curation is the process of selecting, organizing, and managing software applications to ensure their ongoing usefulness and relevance. This includes tasks such as evaluating software for quality and usability, keeping track of updates and new releases, and providing support for users. Software curation is particularly important in fields where a large number of software tools are available, such as bioinformatics or digital humanities. By curating software, researchers can make it easier for others to find and use the best tools for their specific needs, ultimately improving the efficiency and effectiveness of research projects.
