What are we going to learn today?
Objectives
- Learn what is reproducibility and why does it matter?
- Gain a number of skills and resources to help us build reproducibility in our everyday workflows, and to make your work easier and more efficient.
- Utilise reproducibility techniques in ways to manage your project when other priorities/modules take you away from it.
Reproducibility is important to the future of research, and is all about working collaboratively, and openly with others. In this workshop we will introduce concepts and tools that researchers are developing and using which aim to make their research more reproducible – so that others can examine their processes, and build on top of findings more easily.
Our 7 steps for reproducible research: 1. Planning to be Organised 2. Keeping your files Tidy and Organised 3. Methodology and Protocols 4. Documentation and writing it down 5. Testing and Controls 6. Automation 7. Publishing, Persistent Identifiers and Preparing for Reuse
Intended audience
This workshop is aimed at UGs, PGTs, and ECRs who are interested in learning more about open and reproducible research, and how it can make their work easier and stronger. No prior skills or knowledge are needed.
All skill levels welcome
This course is not aimed at taking you to 100% in Reproducible Research - instead it aims to introduce you to reproducible research techniques that can aid your projects, and provide good practices that will benefit you as a future researcher. You should be able to finish this workshop with a few new ideas and skills to start on easy changes.
