After 5 years, hundreds of interviews & workshops, many open access papers (& more on the way), an App, the 1st global symposium on #novelecosystems & lots of deep research, the @noveleco.bsky.social project finishes today. Thanks to so many people, especially my super team and the @erc.europa.eu.
Was really cool to be part of data collection effort of this study - which involved a huge effort and authors from all continents. Really important results for moving forward with open science too - read for details and advice!
And thanks @nhcooper123.bsky.social for leading us all with patience 🙏🏼

Excited to share our new paper in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social on data and code archiving at @britishecologicalsociety.org journals. TL;DR: Data archiving rates are high, code archiving rates are low, documentation needs to be improved! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.....
