Although computer science papers are often accompanied by software artifacts, connecting research papers to their software artifacts and vice versa is not always trivial. First of all, there is a lack of well-accepted standards for how such links should be provided. Furthermore, the provided links, if any, often become outdated: they are affected by link rot when pre-prints are removed, when repositories are migrated, or when papers and repositories evolve independently. In this paper, we summarize the state of the practice of linking research papers and associated source code, highlighting the recent efforts towards creating and maintaining such links. We also report on the results of several empirical studies focusing on the relationship between scientific papers and associated software artifacts, and we outline challenges related to traceability and opportunities for overcoming these challenges.

科学与软件的联系：科学知识与软件工件之间可追溯性的挑战

尽管计算机科学论文通常附带有软件工件，但将研究论文与软件工件相联系（反之亦然）并不总是一件容易的事。首先，缺乏关于如何提供这种链接的公认标准。此外，所提供的链接（如果有的话）通常会过时：当移除预印本，迁移存储库或纸张和存储库独立发展时，它们会受到链接腐烂的影响。在本文中，我们总结了链接研究论文和相关源代码的实践状态，重点介绍了最近为创建和维护此类链接所做的努力。我们还报告了一些针对科学论文与相关软件工件之间关系的实证研究结果，
