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. 🧵1/3 doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

🙌 wonderful work leading this @asanchez-tojar.bsky.social, @eivimeycook.bsky.social, and @nickmoran-sci.bsky.social. Transparency with open data and code sharing is a critical first step in the quality control pipeline for research code.
