Exercise: Is it research software?

Using the definition of research software from the FAIR4RS working group, try to classify the following as "research software" or "software in research"

Example software tools

Shape Preserving Local Histogram Modification Algorithm

An Analysis and Implementation of the Shape Preserving Local Histogram Modification Algorithm is a published article on IPOL. The source code implementing the algorithm is available for download.

Is this "research software" or "software in research"?

SciPy

SciPy is open-source software for mathematics, science, and engineering. It is also the name of a very popular conference on scientific programming with Python. The SciPy library depends on NumPy, which provides convenient and fast N-dimensional array manipulation. The SciPy library is built to work with NumPy arrays, and provides many user-friendly and efficient numerical routines such as routines for numerical integration and optimization. Together, they run on all popular operating systems, are quick to install, and are free of charge. NumPy and SciPy are easy to use, but powerful enough to be depended upon by some of the world’s leading scientists and engineers.
