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. 💡

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...

Great to see this out! Only ~23% of psychology journals have a post-publication critique format (e.g., letter to the editor). Some impose strict limits (e.g., 400 words & 4 weeks to submit). Critiques are rarely published — in two random samples of 101 empirical articles we found only 1 critique.
Excited to finally have my first paper officially published! "How Do Psychology Journals Handle Postpublication Critique?" is now online with AMPPS. Huge thanks to my supervisors @tomhardwicke.bsky.social and @simine.com and co-authors @bethclarke.bsky.social, N Moodie, S Schiavone, and R Thibault ☺️

Super excited to have been part of this study! Great leadership by Ed, Alfredo and Nick. We give insights in how the current policies regarding data and code sharing is in the field (not great) and we give concrete advice on how to improve it.
📣 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.
