The European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) Scholarly Infrastructures of Research Software (SIRS)report states that software is a necessary component of modern scholarly research and that EOSChas a key role to play, ensuring the overall architecture will be built in a way to cater the needs of theresearch community best. The SIRS report summarised key recommendations and technicalrequirements for the scholarly ecosystem to provide better functionalities and solutions forresearchers. The SIRS recommendations stand on four pillars: Archive, Reference, Describe, andCite research software. The SIRS report includes recommendations on archiving software artifacts,providing or exposing extrinsic and intrinsic identifiers, describing software with metadata, producingreliable citations, and improving the software records' curation quality across the European OpenScience community.This report reviews existing scholarly infrastructures that cater to research software and identifies thegaps between the EOSC Scholarly Infrastructures of Research Software (SIRS) desiderata and thestatus quo based on select examples.
