New public forum: Transparency in EcoEvo

Os dejo una iniciativa que me ha llegado en favor de la transparencia en estudios de ecología y evolución:

Announcing a new public forum devoted to fostering transparency in
ecology and evolution. This forum is an email list called Transparency in
EcoEvo. If you are interested, please subscribe (see info at the bottom
of this message). If you are not sure what we mean by transparency,
read on. A core principle of science is that we make progress as a
field when we are transparent about our methods and the results we
derived from those methods. Unfortunately, we do not always share
sufficient details of our methods, nor do we always sufficiently share
the outcomes of our research. However, there is a growing movement to
promote transparency in ecology and evolution and in other disciplines,
and a number of recent publications have called attention to this (see
below for some examples). We hope the Transparency in EcoEvo email list
will foster continued discussion of ideas related to transparency.

Some recent calls for improved transparency in ecology and evolution:

@cefe ¿y tienes pensado contribuir con algún tipo de acción?

Pues la verdad es que alguna idea tengo pero este año el tiempo me falta y me urgen otras cosas.

En realidad quiénes llevan el peso en estos temas son las revistas, que deben exigir transparencia. Luego se pueden hacer actividades de concienciación o diseñar estructuras (bases de datos, protocolos…) para facilitar la tarea de los investigadores pero yo eso sólo puedo hacerlo mal.
