If your code is not open, you're not doing science

This is a list of articles explicitly suggesting or tangentially indorsing Open Source Software in the context of academic publications. The list is far from complete and in no particular order, but it creates a strong defense of source code as an integral part of the scientific process (code is data after all!).
