My colleagues @grimalkina, @CSLee, @flourn0, and I are excited to announce a new project: The Developer Science Review! dsl.pubpub.org/

The Developer Science Review is a scientific overlay journal highlighting empirical research that the scientists and software engineers in the Developer Success Lab think is relevant for people interested in the science of #DeveloperThriving and #DeveloperExperience.

What’s the context? Well, as part of our work in doing science, the DSL comes across a lot of scholarly work that is relevant to the broader software engineering community. And from conversations we’ve had with our own audience of developers and engineering leaders, we’ve learned that this audience finds reading peer-reviewed, empirical research super valuable.

Kristen Foster-Marks

So, in an act of love for our community, we’ve decided to publish an overlay journal to bring more empirical research to the folks who stand most to benefit from it: #SoftwareEngineers and #EngineeringLeaders.

Imagine a scientific journal with a mission to get relevant primary research – the same kind that the DSL conducts – in front of the software practitioners who don’t always have the time to find this research themselves. We’ve created this overlay journal with that audience in mind.

@KFosterMarks A much needed and appreciated initiative. I’m looking forward to reading more!

Kristen Foster-Marks

The journal pulls work that’s been published in traditional peer-reviewed journals or preprint repositories. We’ll publish quarterly, and each issue will include an article submitted by a member of the DSL. Each contribution will include the submitter’s commentary explaining why they’ve chosen that article, including how our audience might find it insightful, impactful, or applicable to their day-to-day.

Kristen Foster-Marks

In essence, this journal curates other scientists’ quality, relevant work, where quality and relevance are determined via the expertise of the DSL. Creating a regular release of curated and lightly commented links to scientific papers provides our audience with recommended readings that help contextualize the research we do in the lab, as well as provides entry points into scientific ways of thinking about the topics of developer thriving and developer experience.

We hope you love it! ❤️

@sf105 @KFosterMarks @CSLee @flourn0 sorry not sorry to my lab if I'm embarrassing y'all in real time right now by not knowing this 😃😂
