This website gather documents and information related to the series of webinars on reproducible research organized with several colleagues with the support of ANR, CNRS, Inria, University of Grenoble, …
This website is under construction, so please check it regularly, especially a few days before the webinar to install the software required in the practical session.
Next event: Monday 7 March,1:30PM-4:30PM (UTC+1), 2016. Introduction (reproducible research, challenges, ethic, …). Producing replicable articles and managing a laboratory notebook (The screencast is here and some rooms where the audience will gather are listed here).
Reproducibility of experiments and analysis by others is one of the pillars of modern science. Yet, the description of experimental protocols, software, and analysis is often lacunar and rarely allows a third party to reproduce a study. Such inaccuracies has become more and more problematic and are probably the cause of the increasing number of article withdrawal even in prestigious journals and the realization by both the scientific community and the general public that many research results and studies were actually flawed and wrong. Open science is the umbrella term of the movement to make scientific research, data and dissemination accessible to all levels of an inquiring society.
The aim of each of these webinars is to introduce the audience to one particular aspect of reproducible research and to illustrate how this aspect can be addressed with state-of-the-art tools. These webinars are open to anyone (PhD students, post-doc, engineers, researchers, …) and are in English (probably with a strong French accent ;-). They will take place on the first Monday or Tuesday afternoon (1:30PM-4:30PM UTC+1) of each month. They generally consist of two parts:
- Part 1. A 1-hour talk followed by a short Q&A session.
- Part 2. Ideally, a hands-on session if the topic allows. 2-3 shorter specialized talks otherwise.
These presentations are screencast by MI2S and interactions during the presentations take place through an other channel (pad, hangout, …). The resulting videos are then edited within a few days for a better exploitation by people that would not have been able to attend the event.
This website is still under construction and needs your help. It is written in org-mode and benefits from github’s pretty printing capability. If you’re logged on github, you can edit all files (like in a wiki) and send me the modifications via a pull request. Just try it, it’s easy. Any comment and suggestion is welcome.
