Our latest #SORTEE-led paper is out now in #ProcB!

We reviewed data/code-sharing policy clarity, strictness & timing across 275 EcoEvo journals

We also worked with #ProcB & #EcologyLetters to assess initial compliance with sharing mandates. Huge team effort! 👉 doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

From policy to practice: progress towards data- and code-sharing in ecology and evolution | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences

Data and code are essential for ensuring the credibility of scientific results and facilitating reproducibility, areas in which journal sharing policies play a crucial role. However, in ecology and evolution, we still do not know how widespread data- and ...

Only acceptable in cases where the data are sensitive and there are no suitable repositories for them that support controlled access. But no excuse if the data can be shared openly!

🔧 Moving Forward

Clearer, accessible data/code-sharing policies are key. Researchers, journals, and institutions must collaborate. Recruiting dedicated data editors can help ensure compliance and improve quality.

📣 Hot off the press at #ProcB!

🔍 Our study checked data/code-sharing policies in 275 eco/evo journals and compliance in Proc B (n=2,340) & Ecology Letters (n=571). Policies exist, but clarity and strictness vary, affecting reproducibility.

~10 years after the experiments, the paper is finally ready 😅😅

Take home: nothing beats patient collaborators 😆

Thanks @josefin-sundin.bsky.social @BenSpeers-Roesch @itchyshin.bsky.social @TimClark @SandraBinning!!

In London for #metascience2025? Realized you forgot to register until after it had closed because the venue was full?

You're* not alone! If you're interested in doing a meta-science hackathon, let me know
