*Call for White Papers: Best Practices for a Future Open Code Policy for 
NASA Space Science*

NASA has requested the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and 
Medicine to investigate and recommend best practices as the Science 
Mission Directorate considers whether to establish an open code policy, 
complementary to its current open data policy. The committee appointed 
by the Academies to carry out this study is now soliciting community 
input in the form of white papers. Full details of the committee’s 
membership and schedule of activities, as well as the statement of task 
for this study and detailed instruction for drafting and submitting a 
white paper, are available on the study webpage 
<http://sites.nationalacademies.org/SSB/CurrentProjects/SSB_178892>.

The specific goal of this call for white papers is to hear broadly from 
the community on any issues, situations, or points of view relevant to 
the topic, to ensure consideration of the full set of possible 
consequences of any new NASA open source policy. For the purpose of this 
call, “open code” and “open source” refer to computer program source 
codes released publicly under an open source license, as defined by the 
Open Source Initiative <https://opensource.org/licenses>.

To be considered at the committee’s next meeting, white paper 
submissions are due *no later than January 12, 2018*. The committee 
strongly encourages authors to submit white papers by this deadline, but 
papers will continue to be received until midnight on January 31, 2018.

Questions about the project or white paper submissions may be directed 
to the project staff at: asheffer at nas.edu <mailto:asheffer at nas.edu>.
