Would accept "Has code" at this point, 90% of the papers that start with "we present a new computational method for.." really mean they present some pretty pictures, graphs and ignored emails.
Computational reproducibility exists within a continuum of attributes, including being re-runnable, repeatable, reusable and replicable.

Making your computational results reproducible is critical for ensuring transparency, reliability and reusability 🧪

My small contribution to these great #archaeology starter packs is one collecting all the archaeologists (and closely aligned fields) working and/or based in Australia. Please let me know if I’ve missed anyone.

go.bsky.app/2kLkg7s
Just a note that each of these #archaeology starter packs are still being added to. So, remember to check them out again to follow the newbies

Just as important, be sure to share. Everyone loves some archaeology, so let's show them where to find us
This thread 🧵 collects all the #archaeology 🏺 starter packs

Share far & wide. We could all use a little more archaeology in our lives

@cjfrieman.bsky.social made the OG Archaeology and heritage list with first wave Twitter refugee scholars & orgs. Go follow Catherine now!
