- Reposted by Katie CorkerScientific publishing is still organized around bundles built for print. We use music’s shift from albums to streaming to argue why access and unbundling aren’t enough. Shared standards are the missing layer for reusable, trustworthy science. articles.continuousfoundation.org/articles/how...

- Reposted by Katie Corker10/🧵 If you’re interested in: - using RegCheck, - stress-testing it, - identifying bugs, - or formally evaluating its performance, I’m very happy to talk. App: regcheck.app Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2601.13330 Code: github.com/JamieCummins...
- Reposted by Katie Corker7/🧵 All of this and more is detailed in our new preprint, also available today. You can read all about RegCheck here, including our ongoing work to comprehensively evaluate its performance. w/ @bethclarke.bsky.social @ianhussey.mmmdata.io and @malte.the100.ci arxiv.org/abs/2601.13330

- Funders - ever wondered what it might look like to implement the TOP guidelines? Here, COS shows how they've done so with the updated (2025) guidelines in their own work as a pass-through funder. Take aways? TOP is a modular, customizable framework that can be tweaked for a variety of settings.
- If you take a close read, you'll see that COS models the adaptability of the framework. They don't adopt the most stringent standards for every research practice, and that is OK! Good even! It's also a nice model of using TOP to assess one's current position and see where you want to go next.

- Reposted by Katie CorkerAdversarial collaborations are one way to do this, but we should see it as part of a new and better way of doing science that I talk about in this article.

- Reposted by Katie CorkerHappy arxiv:2601 to all who celebrate! 😉🎉🔬 We are so thankful for everyone who uses arXiv everyday to share and discover new research. Happy new year to all - here's hoping for a 2026 full of #openaccess science & lots of new discoveries.
- Reposted by Katie Corker“At LSA, we explicitly welcome negative data and null results, & we include it online in the journal’s policy about submitting. This was baked into the founding of our journal; we think it’s a matter of scientific integrity, of reducing wasted research efforts, & of lowering barriers to publication”
- Giving the gift of negative data 🥰 Since I joined @lsajournal.org I have handled several stellar manuscripts that report null results. These papers do very well and reviewers almost always appreciate them! Thanks @rockefeller.edu news team for the article! www.rockefeller.edu/news/38829-t...
