Reproducibility, open scientific practices, and analytic transparency are increasingly being requested or required of scientists and researchers, but training on these on topics is severely lacking. Nor has the culture around sharing of code and skills, or even the recognition that these concepts are important for the health of science, dramatically changed. This community aims to start bridging these gaps in knowledge and skills, and to hope start forming a culture of sharing, openness, and improvement in scientific activities.
This specific repository contains the website source files, training material, and event listings for the community. It also hosts some administrative material for the community.
The most of the events hosted by this community are designed to be presented primarily with a participatory live-coding approach. This involves an instructor typing and running code in a code editor (e.g. RStudio) in front of the class, while the class follows along using their own computers. Challenges are (optionally) interspersed throughout the session, allowing participants to collaboratively work on smaller coding problems for a few minutes. All session materials are provided ahead of time on the website for participants to refer to during the sessions.
The structure of the website is based on the standards for generating websites with blogdown. Folders to focus on are:
content/: Contains stand alone pages for the website (such as "About").content/material/: Contains the code-along teaching material. Material is written in R Markdown and generated into the website through blogdown. See the contributing section below on adding material. TODO: Add information on creating new material.data/events/: Contains the.yamlfiles for individual events, both upcoming and past. Creating a new event is as simple as copying and pasting an old one and updating the contents inside the new file.
