  SMECS is a web-based tool designed to extract and curate
  research software metadata in alignment with the codemeta 
  software metadata standard. By accessing repositories on 
  platforms like GitHub and GitLab, SMECS extracts multiple 
  already existing metadata in the harvesting phase. 
  In the curation phase its intuitive graphical interface 
  allows researchers to easily improve and change the retrieved 
  metadata to bestly represent their software.
  Ultimately, SMECS allows to export the curated metadata in
  JSON format in line with the codemeta stand.
