The importance of open science cannot be overstated and I'm very grateful and proud to have been able to play a part in this community-led paper by PAASTA to provide guidelines and recommendations for improving accessibility and reproducibility in palaeoproteomic research!
Delighted to be bringing you the following PAASTA community-led paper outlining our recommendations for best practices and open science in palaeoproteomics! Congratulations to the authors and for anyone keen to read the paper, it can be found #OpenAccess here: doi.org/10.24072/pcj...
