Presented at the Open Science in Practice Summer School (https://osip2017.epfl.ch/page-145979.html)
September 2017
Abstract: This talk will discuss the perceived and
actual barriers experienced by researchers attempting to do reproducible
research, and give practical guidance on how they can be overcome. It
will include suggestions on how to make your code and data available and
usable for others (including a strong suggestion to document it clearly
so you don't have to reply to lots of email questions from future
users). Dr Kirstie Whitaker will present example publications from the Neuroscience in Psychiatry Network
and discuss how the consortium has overcome challenges related to
maintaining the privacy of our participants, complying with
institutional ethical review boards, and building skills for individual
researchers. She will encourage summer school participants to take steps
towards ensuring that their publications are as open and reproducible
as possible. The take home message will be: every little counts, and
every journey starts with a single step.
