manifesto seems inconsistent #26

Closed egonw closed 6 years ago

egonw commented 6 years ago

At the start the manifesto writes:

... [scientific code] needs to be treated as a primary research output

But later it writes:

Code published in journals should be peer reviewed.

While the second quote does not specifically demote it, any code should be peer reviewed, also if not published in journals. After all, if it only applies to code with a journal article, then the scientific code is secondary research output, not primary.
