Sharing is caring.

That’s a line you usually hear when you’re a child - probably to share your new toys or maybe even give your parents a bite of your breakfast.

You likely don’t hear it as much as an adult unless it’s coming out of your own mouth.

But you do still share, don’t you?

Do you share your knowledge and findings and analyses?

Meet Jonathon Love

Jonathon’s Role as an Software Leader at jamovi

Jonathon Love is the Co-founder of jamovi. The jamovi project was founded to develop a free and open statistical platform that is intuitive to use and provides the latest developments in statistical methodology. Community-driven scientific software is at the core of the jamovi philosophy, where anyone can develop and publish analyses and make them available to a wide audience.

jamovi aims to be a neutral platform, taking no position with respect to competing statistical philosophies. The project was not founded to promote a particular statistical ideology, instead wanting to serve as a safe space where different statistical approaches may be published side-by-side and still consider themselves first-rate members of the jamovi community.

Jonathon’s Other Work in Software Development

Besides his work with jamovi, Jonathon is currently a Software Developer and Researcher at the University of Newcastle. He completed his studies with Andrew Heathcote at the University Newcastle, Australia, and has over 15 years experience in software development. Jonathon's interests are promoting the use of liberated (free and open source) software in science, and developing software which bridges the gap between methodologists and applied researchers. He was the original designer and developer of JASP.
