UC COS Reproducible Research Practices Wkshp |
UC Libraries is excited to bring the Center of Open Science http://centerforopenscience.org to UC for a workshop on reproducible research practices. This workshop would benefit all data generators, but especially graduate students and junior faculty. This 3-hour workshop will focus on factors that contribute to low levels of reproducibility, and simple, practical steps researchers can easily take to increase the reproducibility of their work. Participants will be introduced to open source tools such as the Center for Open Science’s Open Science Framework and the analysis software R. In addition, participants will learn about proper research documentation, data sharing resources and the choices involved in tracking and retaining data. The format will mix lecture and hands-on activities so that participants will engage in creating a reproducible project from beginning to end. Putting these tools in to practice will ensure that UC researchers are prepared for changing incentives and mandates from funders and journals about transparent and open research.
