 The term “research software” has also no single definition within the community.
 Therefore, to avoid ambiguities, we list the definitions hat we use in this document:\\
 \textbf{Software:}\\
-Source code, documentation, tests, executables and all other artefacts that are created by humans during the development process and that are necessary to understand its purpose.\\
+Source code, documentation, tests, executables, and all other artefacts that are created during the development process and that are necessary to understand its purpose.\\
 \textbf{Research software:}\\
 Foundational algorithms, the software itself, as well as scripts and computational workflows that were created
 during the research process or for a research purpose, across all domains of research.
 This definition is broader than in~\autocite{FAIR4RS} and is the outcome of a recent discussion in~\autocite{Gruenpeter2021}.\\
 \textbf{Research software engineers:}\\
-People who create or improve research software and/or the structures that it interacts within the computational ecosystem of research domains.
+People who create or improve research software and/or the structures that the software interacts with the computational ecosystem of a research domain.
 They are highly skilled team members who may also conduct their own research as part of their role.
 However, we also recognise RSEs who have chosen to focus on a technical role as an alternative to a traditional research role.\\
