A species' name may seem concrete, but these names are actually complex, changing, and species can be difficult to identify. One recent paper from @UBC and @HakaiInstitute Dr. Twist highlights how confusion around names can make #reproducibility difficult: https://t.co/51cPrZZHWi

Critics said that a well-known psychology replication project failed to replicate findings because the replications had problems. Replications of the replications suggest otherwise. https://t.co/IVd7VLhmd6

Our paper reporting a large (N=3759) survey of researchers perceptions of credibility of preprints and preprint services is published today in RSOS.

What matters most? Transparency of data, materials, code & evidence of reproducibility.
