[SORTEE member voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Hannah Fraser. Date: 04 July 2021. Position: Postdoctoral Researcher. Research and/or work interests: Ecology metascience. Bringing metascience insights from other disciplines to ecology. If you had the power to change one thing about current research practices in your field, what would it be? If I could change one thing about current research practices I would like to see the incentive to publish research quickly removed so that people could conduct more careful, nuanced research.

[SORTEE member voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Wendy Thorogood. Date: 04 July 2021. Position: MSc Student. Research and/or work interests: Currently studying giraffe social networks. How did you become interested in open research? I became interested in ORT when reading and critically reviewing articles for journal clubs as part of my Masters studies. Some papers were so uninstructive that the possibility of reproduction or even of grasping what was done was entirely missing.

[SORTEE member voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Kimberley Mathot. Date: 04 July 2021. Position: Assistant Professor. Research and/or work interests: Behavioural ecology, foraging, energetics, multi-level variation. What institutional policies do you see as most important to change to improve the reliability of science? (‘institution’ broadly defined including funders, journals, universities, etc.) There should be mandatory archiving of all data and scripts necessary to reproduce the results in a study, with checks in place to ensure that it actually happens.

[SORTEE member voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Peter Mikula. Date: 04 July 2021. Position: Postdoctoral Researcher. Research and/or work interests: Macroecology, behavioural ecology, birdsong, geography of fear, conservation culturomics. What ‘ORT’ practice have you introduced into your research practice that you’ve found really helpful? Whenever possible, I publish raw data along with my papers. In ecological studies, it is still a common practice not to publish raw data or to publish transformed data which often can not be used for different research questions.

Research and/or work interests: Bird and mammal population assessment through a mix of field methods (passive acoustic monitors, camera trap and more traditional site sampling) and analytical methods for imperfect detection (occupancy and spatial capture recapture) implemented in R. How did you become interested in open research?
