Description
This workshop is organised by the German Reproducibility Network.
Title: FAIR and Reproducible Code
Abstract
Let’s talk about good practices in research as well as research software engineering! We love the saying “Better Software, Better Research”, but what we actually need to do in practice? In this workshop we share best practices on how to make your work FAIR and reproducible and then also discuss what that means for your project. How can I set up a reproducible project? How should I license my software? How can I make my materials findable and reusable? These and more questions will (hopefully) be answered as part of this workshop.
Goals
- Spotlight on the German Reproducibility Network
- Provide overview about current good practices
- Provide hands-on experience and implement first ideas
