BSTVC is committed to a respectful, inclusive, and scientifically constructive community.
Participants are expected to:
- communicate respectfully and focus criticism on ideas, evidence, and code;
- welcome questions and contributions from people with different backgrounds and levels of experience;
- acknowledge uncertainty, methodological limitations, and the contributions of others;
- protect confidential, personal, patient, student, and restricted data; and
- avoid harassment, discrimination, intimidation, personal attacks, and other disruptive behavior.
This code applies to project repositories, issue discussions, pull requests, documentation, and other spaces in which a person represents the BSTVC community.
Potential violations may be reported privately to the project maintainer, Chao Song. Reports will be reviewed as confidentially and fairly as reasonably possible. Project maintainers may edit or remove inappropriate contributions and may temporarily or permanently restrict participation when necessary to protect the community.
