PROFES, the International Conference on Product-Focused Software Process
Improvement, is among the top recognised software development and
process improvement conferences. PROFES organisation is composed of
local and international recognised researchers in software engineering.
The objective of the PROFES is to provide a premier forum for
practitioners, researchers, and educators to present and discuss
experiences, ideas, innovations, as well as concerns related to
professional software process improvement motivated by product and
service quality needs.
PROFES 2017 has explicitly committed itself to take the first step
in fostering open science in our community as a key to increase the
accessibility, reproducibility, and replicability of our research
outcomes.

Open Science Practices
PROFES 2017 has explicitly committed itself as the first conference
in our field to take the first step in fostering open science in our
community as a key to increase the accessibility, reproducibility, and
replicability of our research outcomes. The steering principle is that
all research output should be accessible to the public and that
empirical studies should be reproducible.
The following web page explains our guidelines and recommendations
for open data and open source, open access, and transparent discussions
of the papers.
