From policy to practice: progress towards #data- and #code-sharing in ecology and evolution #ProcB #OpenAccess royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

Open data & code make science better. That means sharing data, & code with published research AND during peer review. But even at the better journals, submitting a manuscript is often confusing and tedious. 🧵1/3 doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

New in #ProcB - From policy to practice: Progress towards #data- and #code-sharing in ecology and evolution @asanchez-tojar.bsky.social @eivimeycook.bsky.social tell us more in our blog royalsociety.org/blog/2025/09...

New paper! 🥳📜 We reviewed 275 ecology & evolution journals: only 38% mandate data sharing & 27% mandate code sharing. 📉 We share recommendations to help close this gap. 💡 👉 Paper: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/... 👉 Blog: royalsociety.org/blog/2025/09...

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...

Only 38% of ecology and evolution journals mandate data sharing and just 27% mandate code sharing New paper out today on how to fix this! Thnx to @eivimeycook.bsky.social @asanchez-tojar.bsky.social @nickmoran-sci.bsky.social @royalsocietypublishing.org 👉 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10....

🙌 wonderful work leading this @asanchez-tojar.bsky.social, @eivimeycook.bsky.social, and @nickmoran-sci.bsky.social. Transparency with open data and code sharing is a critical first step in the quality control pipeline for research code.

📣 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. 🔗 doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

Check out our latest preprint 📣 TADA guidelines 📣 TADA (Transferable, Accessible, Documented, Annotated) helps researchers across disciplines share code, with the ultimate goal of increasing code availability & its quality. Brilliantly led by @eivimeycook.bsky.social 🔗 doi.org/10.32942/X2D...

🎉New preprint! "TADA! Simple guidelines to improve code sharing" tinyurl.com/8rmnwjrk We present simple guidelines to help researchers of all coding levels improve the transparency and reproducibility of their analytical code, TADA! Transferable, Accessible, Documented, Annotated.

Detector dogs, particularly when used alongside other intervention methods, are effective at preventing invasive pests from entering new territories. Research paper by @nickmoran-sci.bsky.social: doi.org/10.3897/neob...

New work out. Finally proving empirically that dogs are the best 🐕‍🦺🐕🐩 doi.org/10.3897/neob...

Our new pre-registered study on data- and code-sharing in 275 eco&evo journals: doi.org/10.32942/X24... Thanks to all participants of the @sortee.bsky.social hackathon. Special thanks to @eivimeycook.bsky.social & @nickmoran-sci.bsky.social for their invaluable contributions & leadership. You rock.

We end with guidance on how to improve data- and code-sharing policies across E&E. Shown here in this awesome diagram (made by Romy Zeiss and Kevin Bairos-Novak).

New work out of @sortee.bsky.social, led by @eivimeycook.bsky.social @asanchez-tojar.bsky.social, myself, & a huge global network of researchers. It has some genuinely fascinating insights into the peer-review process, and advocates for a stronger & more robust approach to code/data sharing. 🧵👇

Spoke today at the Levuka Town Hall, about cultural and economic impacts of climate change for the people of Ovalau. Thanks to the Fiji Environmental Law Association for facilitating this event. It has been a remarkable year of research on the island.

Hello Bluesky. I do various kinds of ecology and data science at the Centre of Excellence for Biosecurity Risk Analysis #CEBRA at the University of Melbourne. Check out this new preprint about how detector dogs affect biosecurity interceptions at airports 👋✌️👍
