Reproducible research: making your work transparent and verifiable
The principle of openness in research is one of utmost importance, with implications for both outcome and practice. Larger datasets and more sophisticated computational methods drive the need for reproducibility in research. This seminar will discuss the perceived and actual barriers experienced by researchers attempting to do reproducible research. It will include suggestions on how to make code and data available and usable for others.
Kirstie Whitaker will explore practical issues around version control, collaboration and dissemination using GitHub, as well as highlighting tools to help researchers work reproducibly from the start in a variety of programming languages. Zoltan Dienes will also consider how openness should and can play a greater role in all aspects of knowledge creation, from open data to how a University is structured.
Speakers:
Dr Kirstie Whitaker, Research Associate, University of Cambridge
Prof Zoltan Dienes, Professor in Experimental Psychology, University of Sussex
