Course content
This course will introduce best practices in making research reproducible – from code tracking to software packaging and documentation – via short lectures and hands-on tutorials.
Topics covered will include:
- Good practices for data analysis
- Version control and collaborative code development
- Package and environment management
- Workflow management
- Documentation and reporting
- Containerized computational environments
Due to limited space the course can accommodate a maximum of 20 participants. If we receive more applications, participants will be selected based on selection criteria, including (but not limited to) correct entry requirements, motivation to attend the course, as well as gender and geographical balance.
