• data sharing
• open science

Which areas of expertise are particularly relevant to the paper?

• ecology and/or evolution;
• biostatistics;
• informatics and computational research;
• open science and reproducibility;

Summary

authors argue that a data availability statement that says 'data may be shared upon request' is not longer efficient, and shouldn't be permitted by journals.
to engouage data deposition, authors suggest researchers should be: recognized, have bonus points to grants/job applications.
Data mangement costs money, and this should be paid for by funding agenices.
Review found that for top natural science journals, approx half of data associated with manuscritp are unabaialbe.
More than 2/3 of authors needed to be contaced because their datasets lacked important metadata

Suggested questions to answer about each paper:

• What is the general main finding or takeaway of the paper?
• What did they analyze and how did they do it?
• What does this paper suggest to improve the issue with reproducibility in science?
• Do you have any concerns about methodology or the interpretation of these results beyond this analysis?
