Researchers Propose Collaborative Coding Culture Guidelines

Authors Zuckerman et al. publish 'Ten simple rules for building a collaborative coding culture' in PLoS Computational Biology on Feb 23, 2026, synthesizing interviews with more than 25 researchers to produce ten concrete recommendations for lab leaders. The paper advocates practices such as coding office hours, code review processes, clear learning objectives, inclusive pedagogy, and discussions on generative AI to improve reproducibility and trainee skill development.
