🔖 Do cancer researchers make their data and code available?

306 cancer studies:

16% shared data

4% shared analysis code

1% of data were FAIR (posted to a recognised repository, in a non-proprietary format, with an identifier and a license)

Cancer research transparency was this bad despite many journals having policies mandating openness.

For the newest of #Newbies

Your #Posts, #Boosts and #Follows power the timeline here. YOU are the algorithm.

#Following is king
#Boosting is queen
#Likes are sweet
#FollowingBack is neighborly
#Hashtags get you noticed

Also, if you feel someone you follow is #Boosting to much and cluttering your timeline, simply click the three dots (top right) on their home page and tap #HideBoosts. Much nicer than unfollowing.

Bonus library content: My daughter once mused that it was odd that she had to wait on electronic library books (which, don’t get me started). She concluded that it was to preserve “library vibes.”

For everyone here: I read there is a shortage of instances run by women admins. I know a few already, but I love to know more. I am one for one, but
vis.social/about/more and I thought mastodon.art/about/more is one too.
Mine i socialserver.science/about/mor and is mainly aimed at scientists and scientific visualizers.
Please boost!

Here's some background on a project my colleagues and I made for #OpenAccessWeek2022 -- we wanted to help people see that sources of #OpenAccess research can answer all kinds of questions (in this case, related to the climate crisis). chroknowlogy.ca/intellectual-l
