RSEMM: A dashboard for evaluating research software maturity
Research software often lacks standardized frameworks to assess its quality, sustainability, and impact. This paper introduces the Research Software Evaluation and Maturity Monitor (RSEMM) , a web-based dashboard that integrates software engineering metrics, FAIRness evaluation, AI/ML classification, code generation detection, and citation tracking. By providing automated maturity scoring and actionable recommendations, RSEMM supports developers, maintainers, and researchers in improving the quality of open research software. RSEMM has been applied to 1,519 open-source research projects, with all evaluation results and metadata openly available on Mendeley Data ( https://doi.org/10.17632/t2dygzcsyt.2 ). The dashboard is accessible online at https://ai4rse.nl/RSEMM/ .
