Abstract: Software is a key element of many researchers daily work.Developed and used in almost all institutes of Forschungszentrum Jülich, its development is part of a creative process, thus generating executable knowledge.Modern publication contexts consist of written publication, data sets, and software, rendering its development to be an integral part of scholarly work.Furthermore, software development is an intellectual achievement protected by copyright and, in the context of research, an independent, first-class product of scientific work.Until now, Forschungszentrum Jülich did not have a practical or secure framework within which employees could develop software.With the guidelines presented here, Forschungszentrum Jülich aims to support the development, management, distribution and impact of research software that meets high quality standards.They primarily target developers and employees who are involved in and deserve credit for this.The board of directors enacted them (version 12.1) by resolution in February 2022.
