How to be a better computational scientist?
Talk given at the HPC School "Escuela de Computación de Alto Rendimiento (ECAR 2013)", part of the VI Latin American Symposium on High-Performance Computing, HPCLatAm 2013, Mendoza, Argentina.
The conversation focused on 5 recommendations:
1. Version-control everything
2. Test your code
3. Share your code
4. Document your code
5. Share your data
The presentation was supported with pointers to several important articles that students should read to understand the issues better. We also recommended IPython Notebooks and figshare.
