🔧 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. 🔗 doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

📣 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...

~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!! #OceanAcidification #AnimalBehaviour #OpenScience ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...

Our report on the engagement on the tri-agency data deposit requirement is out! Huge thanks to members of the research community who participated and provided helpful input! Disponible en français et en anglais. #RDM #GDR science.gc.ca/site/science...

Come see us in Montréal, Canada, for #Metascience2027!! 🥳🥳🥳 Big announcement at #metascience2025 today!

Great to see CIHR's Alison Bourgon discussing research excellence, new funding to support research on research in Canada, and opportunities to consider multiple ways of knowing in metascience. #metascience2025

'Data is really the topic of the day' - Maria Leptin, President ERC at #metascience2025 👏👏👏👏

Great to see African open resources highlighted at #Metascience2025

Happy Canada day from the Canadian contingent at #Metascience2025!

Shout out to SORTEE @sortee.bsky.social by @fidlerfm.bsky.social during the morning plenary at #metascience2025 👏👏

Coming to #Metascience2025? Make sure to visit our stall for a chat and some swag! We are also gathering your ideas for our introductory course on RRA - what do you think is essential to cover in a course on responsible research assessment basics? Contribute at bit.ly/DORA-Course!

Proud of Canada's Federal Granting Agencies for sending a large contingent to #metascience2025! Below, Matthew Lucas from SSHRC presenting our work to advance #openscience, metaresearch, and responsible research assessment.

What a pleasant surprise to meet a fellow SORTEE @sortee.bsky.social member at #metascience2025! Thanks Zuzanna Zagrodska for reaching out at the coffee break. Soon, @anticac.bsky.social to join too!

#Metascience2025 quote of the day: 'Changing a university is like moving a graveyard. It's very challenging and don't expect any help from within!'

If you're at #Metascience2025, did you realise that @plosbiology.org has a specific article type, the Meta-Research Article, for #metascience? Have a chat to our meta-research editor @roliroberts.bsky.social and check out the 73 articles that we've published over the years: plos.io/3I4avRL

Reminder to get in touch if you would like to meet fellow #metascience2025 attendees with ties to Canada! Pls share

Massive crowd for the #metascience2025 kickoff at UCL in London. @jameswilsdon.bsky.social as energetic as ever as he welcomes the 800+ delegates here!

If you’re in London and interested in metascience-y things, there’s more going on than just the official conference! Please help spread the word! #metascience2025

Are you attending #Metascience2025 in London next week and do you have a Canadian affiliation (past or present)? If you would like to meet up with other colleagues with links to Canada for an informal get together, get in touch with me: DM or dominique.roche[at]sshrc-crsh.gc.ca

🚨Preprint alert!🚨 We found that relevant levels of aquatic oxygen supersaturation do not always offer protective benefits to aquatic ectotherms during acute warming. 🌡️ Big collaborative project with A LOT of CTmax trials!!! ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...

New paper coins the "Gollum effect" in reference to systemic territoriality in academia, behaviour that is anthitetical to scientific collaboration, resource sharing, and open knowledge exchange. Check out the stats! Most respondents from #ecoevo www.cell.com/one-earth/fu...

How do fish evolve to tolerate higher temperatures, and are there trade-offs? We explore these questions in our new paper @natclimate.nature.com led by Anna Andreassen @annahandreassen.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧪🐟🦑

Thanks to the more than *1100* members of the scientific community who have signed the letter to insist that the Royal Society remains true to values that we all hold dear but that Musk FRS has ridden roughshod over. Please keep signing & sharing. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Just renewed my @sortee.bsky.social membership for 2025 🎉. Have you?! If you do environmental science but don't know about sortee.org, check it out and consider joining!

Worth reading www.nature.com/articles/d41...

This Registered Report masterpiece just dropped at BMC Biology, brilliantly led by a great team with the help of 300+ analysts & reviewers Same question, same data: go figure! tl;dr: Substantial heterogeneity among results comes from differences among analytical choices 🔗 doi.org/10.1186/s129...

Sounds familiar @jutfelt.bsky.social ?! Observations on different actors in the research ecosystem by @stephaniemlee.bsky.social in her talk on research misconduct at #PSE7.

Neat tools to support error prevention/detection/correction presented by @ianhussey.bsky.social at #PSE7.

USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency

This ought to have been the first slide of many conferences that I've attended, but at least here it's what we all actually came for. #PSE7

Funding by NWO (Netherlands) for replication studies started back in 2016. Stoked to hear about the outcomes today at #PSE7. Something funders elsewhere should consider!

Never too early to start attending a PhD defense! Apparently, scatter plots can be as captivating as Bluey 😂

If you've never published a preprint or don't know about @sortee.bsky.social's preprint server for ecology, evolution and related disciplines, learn all about it here: doi.org/10.1098/rspb... Great work led by Dan Noble

Modern scientific publishing puts too much significance on the journal's perceived prestige and not on the quality of the science. This author went so far as to remove journal titles from their CV. Would you do the same? #SciPub #AcademicSky 🧪

JOB OPENING: Senior Director of Policy This new, senior role will lead the incentives & rewards program areas at the Center for Open Science. It is an instrumental role for implementing our theory of change. We will consider uniquely qualified candidates living outside the U.S. www.cos.io/careers

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 Preprint!!🎉🎉 "From Policy to Practice: Progress towards Data- and Code-Sharing in Ecology and Evolution" doi.org/10.32942/X24... Myself and a whole bunch of awesome coauthors reviewed data- and code-sharing policies across 275 journals that publish ecology and evolution studies.

Our new paper on fish dynamics of thermal tolerance plasticity is finally out in Journal of Thermal Biology! This was an amazing collaboration with great researchers across the World! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

When sharing data, 3 things you can do to help ensure your collaborator doesn't spend countless hours trying to understand the files: 1. Add a README to the folder, explaining its contents 2. Organize files in subfolders 3. Name files clearly so that contents can be inferred They will thank you 🙏

Do you have a project that exemplifies open science in ecology and evolution? If yes, nominate the project for a SORTEE Commendation Award: More details about the SORTEE Commendation Award:
