Open science in scRNA-seq tools development. A GitHub summary statistics for scRNA-seq tool repositories. B Stacked bar plot showing the proportion of publications with and without an associated preprint. C Scatter plot showing preprint date against the number of days until publication, colors indicate the number of citations (log scale). Box plot and density on the right show the distribution of time delay in publication. D Coefficients for log-linear models predicting citations and Altmetric Attention Score (AAS) for publications. Years since publication are modeled as a cubic spline with three degrees of freedom. Error bars show a 95% confidence interval. The inlaid bar chart shows the adjusted R²for each model. E Coefficients for log-linear models predicting total citations, total AAS, and GitHub stars for tools. Error bars show a 95% confidence interval. The inlaid bar chart shows the adjusted R²for each model
