Lots of great talks to catch up on at the Open Research Week 2026!
If you want to know how TADA! can help you share functional code, check out @joelpick.bsky.social’s talk!
I was gutted to miss it but I think I had a legitimate excuse…

The last thing I’ll add was this was my second paper reviewed in @peercommunityin.bsky.social and first in their journal. Highly recommended!!

This would not have been possible without the hard work of many talented researchers and data editors from across multiple journals in EcoEvo:
@bethanyjallen.bsky.social
@benebachelot.bsky.social
@barbaraclass.bsky.social
@ornitho-pie.bsky.social
@erolafenollosa.bsky.social
...
We hope that these guidelines will not only increase the consistency and transparency of the data editor process, but also improve the quality of archived data and code.
Please do share widely, and if you're a journal interested in implementing these guidelines, please do reach out!
[5/5]
We also provide important advice for authors and journals on implementing data and code quality control through data editors.
There is also a free companion app to help data editors apply this framework to papers they review 👇

S4: Archived code corresponds with the workflow reported in the manuscript.
S5: Archived code runs with the archived data.
S6: Results can be computationally reproduced by running the archived code.
[3/5]
We introduce a detailed 6-stage framework for data and code quality control:
S1: Data must be archived and adhere to FAIR guiding principles.
S2: Archived data corresponds with the data reported in the manuscript.
S3: Code must be archived and adhere to FAIR guiding principles.

🧵 New paper out today in @peercommunityin.bsky.social Journal!
@joelpick.bsky.social et al. introduce the first standardised guidelines for data & code quality control in #ecology & #evolutionarybiology, on behalf of @sortee.bsky.social 🔓

Congrats!! Awesome
Interesting paper and with preregistration!
Completely agree!
In EcoEvo there’s a tonne of great guides that really help with archiving code to a decent standard of quality and style.
It’s important to consider the functionality of code as well as simply depositing it.
97% of the papers archived the data but only 35% archived the code.
Most people are writing code but not sharing it. Time to bring up this again: scispace.com/pdf/publish-... (and if the code isn't good enough yet, maybe it's too early to publish the paper)
#openscience #reproducibility #ecopubs
Amazing work!! Congrats 🙌
📢 New preprint out!
tl;dr: Publish your code, add clear README's!
138 participants assessed data & code archiving practices across 1861 papers published at 7 @britishecologicalsociety.org journals, identified gaps & offered recommendations for improvement

In one week I'll be talking about tips for reproducible R code and why science would love you to try these tips on your own code too 🧪😍🌏
It's an online talk, so feel free to watch comfortably from your couch. Hope to see you there!

📣 JOBS!!! We're looking for new colleagues in the School of Biology @bioscienceleeds.bsky.social - two associate profs (plant sci and animal biology) and a lecturer (ecology/zoology)...

Fantastic to see this out as a preprint.

Hats off to @nhcooper123.bsky.social et al!!
The human body is so adaptable.
For example because I didn't manage to go the gym for 2 weeks - my body smartly adapted to the idea that I would never go back and appears to have atrophied all of my muscles 😓
How can pre-registration and Registered Reports support more transparent research?
We’ll be discussing this and more at the UK Reproducibility Network Conference 2026.
Read the UKRN primer: osf.io/preprints/os...
Register your interest for the conference: www.ukrn.org/conference/

New pre-print!
Excited to share our new paper — the first meta-analysis of CRISPR-based homing gene drives! Analysing nearly one million scored progeny across 42 studies and 10 species.

For the #rstats equivalent, I wanna hear your pros and cons of starting with tidyverse over base
In particular for people with no programming background or with programming anxiety
I'm planning to teach an intro course that's tidyverse-first, with base context later

New paper out with @tahliafulton.bsky.social and Alistair Senior! A complementary meta-analysis of Ivimey-Cook, Sultanova & Maklakov (2025) where we find that lifespan extending treatments dont square the survival curve.
Longer life ≠ compressed mortality.

The best part about open data (and code)!
This is great to see!
