From policy to practice: progress towards data- and code-sharing in ecology and evolution | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences

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.

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. 💡
