Open Research in Practice: Research Data Management Community of Practice Online
Open research--sharing data, tools, research results and more--is increasingly important to funders, publishers, and within disciplines. These principles guide responsible research. But how do you practice reproducibility and integrate it into your research workflows? How do you share data and code in a way that helps others understand what you did? How do you navigate this when you work with data from human participants? January’s roundtable will discuss open research in practice from data collection to post-project archiving. Join us Thursday, January 30 at 11:30 AM for a great discussion between researchers!
Dr. Mike Carter (Kinesiology) leads the Action, Cognition, and Metascience Lab focusing on how the human brain controls and learns skilled actions. Dr. Carter's team uses R in their reproducible workflows and publishes their data and scripts to GitHub.
Dr. Lauren Fink (Psychology, Neuroscience & Behaviour) leads the BEAT Lab which researchers musical time and bodily time, through computational modeling of attention and motor behavior--and beyond. Dr. Fink is a proponent of open science and integrates GitHub and reproducible research into her lab's research work and teaching.
