Carole Goble, one of the Institute's Co-Investigators, was asked to provide the editorial article for this month's edition of IEEE Internet Computing. 

"We know that modern scientific research isn’t possible without software, from short, thrown-together temporary scripts and the abundance of complex spreadsheets, through to the huge software enterprises behind international efforts such as the Large Hadron Collidor and the Square Kilometer Array. And it’s not just research based on simulations and computational methods. Data-driven science (the so-called “fourth paradigm”1) wouldn’t be possible without software to access and manipulate that data, and our ability to generate insights depends on software platforms."
