Description
Interactive tools like the Shiny R package enable researchers to develop user-friendly,
reproducible data applications, fostering essential research data and software competencies (RDSCs). This paper explores how Shiny supports training and practice in RDSCs by enhancing workflows, promoting reusability and transparency, and enabling hands-on learning. A simulation-based Shiny app is presented as an example to demonstrate the development and operationalization of competencies related to data visualization, statistical modeling, and software reusability. Practical implications for
education and competency-building programs are discussed.
