[SORTEE member voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Matt Lloyd Jones. Date: 09 July 2021. Position: Postdoctoral Research Associate. Research and/or work interests: Systematic review and meta-analysis in microbial invasion ecology. How did you become interested in open research? Through meeting like-minded folk. What’s an open science practice or topic that you’ve changed your views on within the last few years? Why? HARKing; it’s essentially taught as a skill in a lot of PhDs, and I only realised it was an issue when meeting open-science folk.

How did you become interested in open research? It is extremely difficult to perform diligent, profound research in Ecology nowadays because of the high pressure to publish a lot and fast. The research system selects for sensational and superficial research. That should not be.

[SORTEE member voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Juan Rocha. Date: 09 July 2021. Position: Researcher. Research and/or work interests: I’m a research scientist at the Stockholm Resilience Centre. My research questions are oriented towards understanding critical transitions: from regime shifts in ecological systems, to collective action in society. Currently I’m focusing on the idea of cascading effects: how a critical transition in an ecosystem in the world can impact the likelihood of other ecosystems tipping over.

[SORTEE member voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Tanya Strydom. Date: 09 July 2021. Position: Graduate Student. How did you become interested in open research? At a graduate-level (field) course. This was the first time that I was really introduced to the bigger issue of open research and (by extension) reproducibility, and I decided then and there it was time to Stan… I think this was in part because someone was there to hold my hand through the ‘scary unknown’ of what reproducibility looks like (and how to work towards it), which probably says something about the importance of integrating openness and reproducibility into student training.
