*April 24:**Preparing your data and code for computationally
reproducible publication: A hands-on workshop for researchers*, 1:00
-4:00pm in 3-333. Register at: http://libcal.mit.edu/event/4053115.
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, CodeOcean. Questions? Contact Phoebe Ayers, EECS
Librarian, at psayers at mit.edu <mailto:psayers at mit.edu>.
