A curated awesome list of Research Software Engineering (RSE) policies and guidelines. Inspired by these curated collections. Here we collect information about RSE policies and guidelines and advice about how to write and enact them. We also take a look at open source policies and guidelines.

Open source software and research software share many characteristics. Since there is no list about open source policies and guidelines in the research field we choose to mention it here. Research software engineering can learn a lot from the open source movement - also regarding policy and guideline development.
