Abstract
The demand of reproducible results in the numerical simulation of optoelectronic devices or more general in mathematical modeling and simulation requires the (long-term) accessibility of data and software that were used to generate those results. Moreover, data visualizations such as videos are useful to present those results in a comprehensible manner. Persistent identifiers can be used to ensure the permanent connection of these different digital objects thereby preserving all information in the right context. Here we give an overview over the state-of-the art of data preservation, data and software citation and illustrate the benefits and opportunities of enhancing publications with visual simulation data by showing a use case from optoelectronics.
