Researchers effectively trust the work of others anytime they use software tools or custom software. In this article I explore this notion of trusting others, using Digital Humanities as a focus, and drawing on my own experience. Software is inherently flawed and limited, so when its use in scholarship demands better practices and terminology, to review research software and describe development processes. It is also important to make research software engineers and their work more visible, both for the purposes of review and credit.

相信别人“做数学”

研究人员在使用软件工具或定制软件的任何时候都能有效地信任他人的工作。在本文中，我探讨了信任他人、以数字人文为重点并借鉴我自己的经验的概念。软件本质上是有缺陷和有限的，所以当它在学术界的使用需要更好的实践和术语时，审查研究软件并描述开发过程。出于审查和信用的目的，使研究软件工程师及其工作更加可见也很重要。
