No-one cares about your bioinformatics software
Here’s a tip. When you write an article about your software, the title of which indicates that open-source is important:
A universal open-source Electronic Laboratory Notebook
but you then:
provide almost no details in the abstract
do not provide a link to a website or repository from which your “free” software can be obtained
choose not to make the article open access
and put the installation instructions in a supplementary data file which is also not open access
Don’t be surprised when no-one uses your software.
Or is the publication more important to you than the product?
