Code Ocean Workshop

Sponsored by Countway Library, Office for Postdoctoral Fellows, Harvard Dataverse

With the aim of improving the reproducibility of the research they publish and fund, journals and funders are increasingly calling for published research to share associated materials. However, many researchers have not received training in the best practices and tools for reproducibly sharing their research.

This workshop introduces reproducibility best practices for biomedical and clinical research. We will provide a survey of the history and current landscape of reproducibility and identify the barriers. We will present practical solutions and resources. Finally, we will demonstrate tools that help biomedical and clinical researchers overcome barriers to reproducibility and practice using these tools during hands-on activities, including how to share their research code using Code Ocean.

Workshop goals:

• Learn best practices for creating a reproducible biomedical or clinical research project.
• Assess reporting guidelines for transparent reporting of biomedical and clinical research.
• Submit code and data for publishing on Code Ocean.

Prerequisites: Participants should bring their own data, code, and laptop.
