          href="http://libcal.mit.edu/event/4053115">http://libcal.mit.edu/event/4053115</a>.
        Computational analysis is playing an increasingly central role
        in research. Journals, funders, and other researchers are
        calling for published research to include associated data and
        code. However, many researchers have not received training in
        best practices and tools for sharing code and data. This is a
        step-by-step, practical workshop to prepare research code and
        data for computationally reproducible publication. The workshop
        starts with some brief introductory information about
        computational reproducibility, but the bulk of the workshop is
        guided work with code and data. We cover the basic best
        practices for publishing code and data. Participants move
        through organizing their files, creating a codebook, preparing
        their code for reuse, documentation, and submitting their code
        and data to share using Code Ocean. Bring a laptop to fully
        participate. Participants may bring their own data and code to
        work through during the workshop. Participants should be able to
        successfully run the code they bring themselves. If you don't
        have code and data of your own to bring, you can follow along
        with example code and data. Presented by April Clyburne-Sherin,
