Submissions are invited to the newly formed Astrophysics Source Code Library (ASCL). Original codes that have generated significant results for any paper published in a refereed astronomy or astrophysics journal are eligible for inclusion in ASCL. All submissions and personalized correspondence will be handled electronically. ASCL will not claim copyright on any of its archived codes, but will not archive codes without permission from the copyright owners. ASCL archived source codes will be indexed on the World Wide Web and made freely available for non-commercial purposes.
Many results reported in astrophysics are derived though the writing and implementation of source codes. Small or large, few source codes are ever made publicly available. Because of the effort involved in the creation of scientific codes and their impact in astrophysics, we have created a site which archives and distribute codes which were used in astrophysical publications.
Goals in the creation of ASCL include increasing the availability, falsifiability, and utility of source codes important to astrophysicists. ASCL is an experimental concept in its formative year - its value will be assessed from author response and user feedback in one years' time.
