@plosbiology.org is formalizing its long‑standing practice of asking authors to share research code, introducing a mandatory #code‑sharing policy and clarifying what is meant by code sharing. Learn more and find guidance on best practice: plos.io/4reyX3v

In support of #OpenScience, we routinely ask authors to openly share their #research #code before publication. We are now formalizing this practice with a mandatory #CodeSharing policy and clarifying what we mean by code sharing.

A great post from @scholarlykitchen.bsky.social exploring the link between #openscience and research integrity. The authors highlight a recent PLOS Open Science Indicators (OSI) dataset as a tool used to help assess this relationship. See the OSI dataset: plos.io/3ZFdjYL Read the findings ⬇️

Biology researchers say credibility matters when serving on grant and hiring committees, but fewer than half feel well-equipped to assess it. A new @peerj.bsky.social study, co-authored by PLOS colleagues shows opportunities to reform research assessment and strengthen #OpenScience:

This is ground breaking and transformative at the same time! The ability to capture (and monitor) open science efforts -beyond publications and citations - will make it much easier to demonstrate the impact of research, rather than waving in that general direction and hope it is credible.

The latest PLOS Open Science Indicators (OSI) dataset is here! In partnership with @dataseerai.bsky.social, the new dataset includes insights from 166K+ articles. In addition, we explore lessons learned from years of OSI development on The Official PLOS Blog. 📈 plos.io/3ZFdjYL 🔎 plos.io/40N0Oxj

Infographic titled 'New open science insights now available.' It features two bar charts comparing the usage of protocols by academic disciplines. The left chart shows the highest usage in medicine, followed by molecular biology and biochemistry, and social sciences. The right chart indicates medicine as the field with the highest study registration, trailed distantly by environmental sciences and agricultural and biological sciences. The caption encourages diving deeper into research with the latest release of Open Science Indicators. The footer notes the data is based on 204 sharing sites with the most published articles as available on OpenAlex.

Assessing credibility of research is very important but researchers lack tools to do this effectively = opportunities to refocus research assessment on research integrity, rigour and transparency, rather than using proxies for impact. New research from the team at PLOS: doi.org/10.31222/osf...
