Delighted to announce that a new @nf_core preprint manuscript has just gone live!
A collaboration with #EuroFAANG, the paper covers updates to #Nextflow and @nf_core, and describes the experience of #EuroFaang as they adopted @nf_core.
Let's dive in... 🧵
In the introduction, we look into usage and citations of workflow managers. It's clear that their popularity is surging, notably those that are command-line tools.
Citations of #Nextflow have especially jumped in recent years.. 📈
The second half of the paper describes the experience of the #EuroFaang consortia as they adopted @nf_core.
We cover initial motivations and hurdles, with a figure showing how maintenance of community-owned pipelines can shift over time, a true superpower of
@nf_core ✨
This section goes on to chart the experiences of the #EuroFaang consortia and the benefits of gradual adoption of #Nextflow and @nf_core.
The final result is nuanced and truthful and we hope it can provide a blueprint for other consortia.
In the conclusion we touch on the future of this collaboration. The recently announced @nf_core "Special interest groups" will provide a new venue for ongoing collaboration. We can't wait to see where this takes us!
