This project started at Springer Nature Hackday in November 2017.

The goal is to investigate how often code is cited in academic publications.

It was inspired by Yo Yehudi's Code is Science project and seeks to complement the work by that community by providing some numbers associated with the prevalence of code citations in the published literature.
