[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.

[SORTEE member voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Benjamin Michael Marshall. Date: 03 July 2021. Position: Researcher. Research and/or work interests: Animal movement and spatial ecology. If you had the power to change one thing about current incentives in your career path, what would it be? I would like to see less emphasis placed on novelty. I see great value in undertaking the same research as others independently, be that a deliberate repetition or in isolation.
