abstract = {The development process used by researchers often seems to
be random and unsystematic. A Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
is often not considered, internal commenting is scarce, and external
documentation takes the form of erasure marks left on whiteboards.
Configuration management is paid lip-service, but is not standard
practice. This paper examines some reasons behind the apparent
large-scale non-adoption of software engineering in academic research.
We also look at the effects on some projects where it was adopted.
Finally we present a new SDLC designed for the academic research
environment, suggest an organisational structure to maximize the
benefit to research students, academics, and the institution.},
