The importance of high-quality software for modern research is clear to us as RSEs. While the central role of software is also increasingly acknowledged by the wider research community, software is still not treated on par with traditional research outputs, in that it is still not cited regularly and formally per default. This negatively affects RSEs, who may struggle to build a career in an environment where the high-impact journal paper is still regarded as the prime proxy for excellence in research.

Abstract: Explainable AI (XAI) works on providing explanations that justify a model's behaviour or decision. But what is an explanation worth if the user it is meant for cannot understand it? “Social XAI”, a recent interdisciplinary offshoot at the intersection of XAI, dialogue research, and the social sciences (Rohlfing et al. 2021, 2026), shifts the focus to the practice of explaining: the dialogic process through which explanations and their understanding are co-constructed between explainer and explainee.
