After a three and a half year hiatus, I’m pleased to welcome Tim Vines back to The Scholarly Kitchen. Tim had left us to devote his time to Axios Review, and is now a consultant with Origin Editorial. He has a Ph.D. in Evolutionary Ecology and has recently been active at the cutting edge of experimentation in new methods in peer review, data sharing, and reproducibility. Today’s article on open data marks Tim’s return.
