Abstract
The external links in the articles were then examined to see if they (1) shared code; (2) see which languages the code used; (3) where they hosted their code; and (4) if the code aimed to reproduce any of the figures. Python was the most commonly used programming language for I PLOS Computational Biology i ; 45% of articles that shared code used Python. However, people are likely to choose to continue to code in the language they are most comfortable with, and they will likely stick with the coding language mostly used in their research labs, which may be part of the reason why MATLAB is still widely used even for this journal.
