robvis is an #rstats package for producing publication-quality risk-of-bias plots. My talk for #ESMARConf2021 on a new integration with metafor::forest() to produce paired ROB/forest plots is now available: youtu.be/yJOTTc3y4iw Docs here: mcguinlu.github.io/robvis/ar…

I'm really looking forward to talking about the origins of {robvis}, the many(!) mistakes I made during it's development, and some exciting new functionality (bias direction plots) I am in the process of adding to the package! @Ed_pheasant @tweettheMESS @CochraneBias #rstats

I like the @OSFramework "Strategy for Culture Change" but think w.r.t open data/code sharing, now that has been made possible (e.g. @ZENODO_ORG, etc), it should just be made journal policy. My argument here is the amount of nonsense we currently do, just because journals say so.

If overnight, the BMJ/JAMA/NEJM decided to mandate data/code deposition, this (to me) would have a huge impact on this problem. Assuming your publication is accepted, you're not going to *NOT* publish in these journals just because they ask you to share your code/data.

Just had an idea for supporting open source projects that your company uses: invite a maintainer to give a paid hour-long talk to your engineers (over Zoom), and pay them over-the-odds for doing so
