摘要：

研究软件已成为学术研究的核心资产。它优化了现有的研究方法，使新的研究方法，实施和嵌入研究知识，并构成了一个重要的研究产品本身。研究软件必须是可持续的，以便理解，复制，复制和建立在现有的研究或有效地进行新的研究。换句话说，软件必须是可用的、可扩展的、可用的，并且能够适应现在和将来的新需求。因此，研究软件需要一个支持可持续性的环境。因此，需要改变研究软件开发和维护的方式，目前的动机，激励，资助，结构和基础设施的支持，并在法律上对待。如果不这样做，研究的质量和有效性就会受到威胁。在本文中，我们确定的动机，选择，研究软件工程人员，资金，基础设施和法律方面的挑战，在德国和超越研究软件的可持续性。除了研究人员，我们还专门针对政治和学术决策者，以提高对可持续研究软件实践的重要性和需求的认识。特别是，我们建议的战略和措施，以创造一个环境，可持续的研究软件，最终目标是确保软件驱动的研究是有效的，可复制的和可持续的，并认为软件是研究中的一等公民。本文是2019年在德国举办的两个研讨会的成果，一个是deRSE 19-德国第一届研究软件工程师国际会议-以及DFG支持的柏林后续研讨会。

英文摘要：

Research software has become a central asset in academic research. It optimizes existing and enables new research methods, implements and embeds research knowledge, and constitutes an essential research product in itself. Research software must be sustainable in order to understand, replicate, reproduce, and build upon existing research or conduct new research effectively. In other words, software must be available, discoverable, usable, and adaptable to new needs, both now and in the future. Research software therefore requires an environment that supports sustainability. Hence, a change is needed in the way research software development and maintenance are currently motivated, incentivized, funded, structurally and infrastructurally supported, and legally treated. Failing to do so will threaten the quality and validity of research. In this paper, we identify challenges for research software sustainability in Germany and beyond, in terms of motivation, selection, research software engineering personnel, funding, infrastructure, and legal aspects. Besides researchers, we specifically address political and academic decision-makers to increase awareness of the importance and needs of sustainable research software practices. In particular, we recommend strategies and measures to create an environment for sustainable research software, with the ultimate goal to ensure that software-driven research is valid, reproducible and sustainable, and that software is recognized as a first class citizen in research. This paper is the outcome of two workshops run in Germany in 2019, at deRSE19 - the first International Conference of Research Software Engineers in Germany - and a dedicated DFG-supported follow-up workshop in Berlin.
