Astrophysics Source Code Library: Incite to Cite!

The Astrophysics Source Code Library (ASCL, http://ascl.net/) is an online registry of over 700 source codes that are of interest to astrophysicists, with more being added regularly. The ASCL actively seeks out codes as well as accepting submissions from the code authors, and all entries are citable and indexed by ADS. All codes have been used to generate results published in or submitted to a refereed journal and are available either via a download site or from an identified source. In addition to being the largest directory of scientist-written astrophysics programs available, the ASCL is also an active participant in the reproducible research movement with presentations at various conferences, numerous blog posts and a journal article. This poster provides a description of the ASCL and the changes that we are starting to see in the astrophysics community as a result of the work we are doing. 1. Brief history of the ASCL The ASCL was created in 1999 and by 2002 had collected 37 codes after which no new codes were added for several years. In 2010 it was resurrected and moved to Starship Asterisk, the discussion forum for Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD).1 Since the 1Starship Asterisk: http://asterisk.apod.com/ 1
