Quick explanations

SE fundamentals and the description are based on SWEBOK. RSE equivalent terms and the description of RSE practice are based on the opinion of research software developers.

RSE awareness and RSE usage are coarse estimates of recognition/adoption of the practices for research software. 0=effectively no awareness/usage to 3=widespread awareness/usage. Sources for the estimates are noted in parentheses.

SER potential is a coarse estimate of the potential for additional software engineering research to increase the awareness/adoption by RSEs. 0=effectively no opportunity to 3=significant SE research would be beneficial. Opportunity briefly describes the software engineering research opportunity.
