abstract = {The development process used by academic researchers often
seems unsystematic. A Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is seldom
considered, commenting is scarce, and external documentation consists
of erasure marks left on whiteboards. Configuration management is paid
lip-service, but is not standard practice. This paper examines reasons
behind the apparent large-scale non-adoption of software engineering in
academic research. The effects where it was adopted are examined.
Finally, we present an SDLC designed for the academic research
environment.},
