If you had the power to change one thing about current research practices in your field, what would it be? I would change the practice of collecting lots of data before good planning. What’s an ‘ORT’ subject or practice that you think deserves more attention? The importance of using observational experiments and manipulative experiments together to build research programs that are both focused and adaptive is undervalued.

[SORTEE member voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Alexander Mielke. Date: 02 July 2021. Position: Postdoctoral Researcher. Research and/or work interests: Primatology; Social Relationships; Cooperation. What’s an ‘ORT’ subject or practice that you think deserves more attention? I think we need to move from storing data in article-specific repositories (such as Dryad or Github) and towards a platform-system where raw datasets are publicly available. Access to data is a limiting factor for getting involved in ecological research, and currently raw data are still largely unavailable.

[SORTEE member voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Fredrik Jutfelt. Date: 02 July 2021. Position: Professor. Research and/or work interests: Animal physiology and behaviour, thermal biology. How did you become interested in open research? I became interested in open research after realising scientific misconduct and data fabrication occurs in my field. That started me, together with a group of friends, on a path to investigate papers with suspicious results.

Research and/or work interests: I am interested in behavioural ecology and teaching. How did you become interested in open research? Scientific integrity is often taken for granted, and while for the vast majority of researchers there is no question about this, there are the occasional cases of misconduct, shady/patchy reporting or non-reproducibility.

[SORTEE member voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Rishika Dubla. Date: 02 July 2021. Research and/or work interests: I’m an evolutionary biologist, with an interest in sexual selection and conflict, and social behaviours in reptiles. Overall, I’m interested in the different interactions between the sexes and how that can lead to novel adaptations which exhibit plasticity and eventually drive the evolution of a species to adopt unique social systems.
