🔖 Statistical code in a high-impact medical journal
A journal started asking authors to submit code with their manuscripts. They then analysed the next 314 papers accepted
87% denied using code, even when publishing substantial statistical analysis
10% used code but refused to share it with the journal
For the few that provided code, none scored even moderately on basic quality criteria

@JessButler I followed the work of the Force 11 Software Citation Working Group for while. A while ago they transitioned to the Software Citation *Implementation* Working Group which is still active. I'd recommend checking out their Principles article for anyone interested in these issues https://peerj.com/articles/cs-86/
and their GitHub https://github.com/force11/force11-sciwg
@2ck @JessButler did they use excel or did they just lie? Unsure what's more shocking 😖
