Requiring code sharing to strengthen transparency and trust in research

Recognizing that code is as essential a research artifact as the data it analyzes, this Editorial outlines how PLOS Medicine is strengthening its code sharing policy to further ensure reproducibility and trust in the scientific record.

Another paper I came across this week in PLOS Computational Biology tackling a key open science issue in a practical way (https://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.1012296).

Together with PLOS Biology's new code-sharing policy (https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.3003678), it really boosts my view of PLOS.

Wow, #PLOS Biology is on the Fediverse?

I've joined the Editorial Board of @PLOSBiology

As an Academic Editor, I encourage people to submit high quality cell biology manuscripts to us.

PLOS Biology is the #PLOS flagship journal in the Life Sciences. It supports selective, equitable #OpenScience and reaching global audiences to help advance science faster.

Update. In response to this problem (previous post, this thread), some publishers are desk-rejecting papers based on open health datasets. The problem is not the quality of the data, but the absence of additional work to validate findings.

Two reports:

1. "Journals and publishers crack down on research from open health data sets," Science, Oct 8, 2025.
https://www.science.org/content/article/journals-and-publishers-crack-down-research-open-health-data-sets

2. "AI: Journals are automatically rejecting public health dataset papers to combat paper mills," BMJ, Oct 15, 2025.
