Putting new git-annex features to use with Nextcloud

Git-annex continues to evolve. In this post, I want to look at two changes, one big and one small, introduced within the last year. Together, they make publishing files through Nextcloud much nicer. Specifically, it is now possible for a read-only shared Nextcloud folder to be a one-stop shop for cloning the dataset and getting file contents. This can be a useful setup for sharing (research) data: having the shared folder be a single point of access is convenient, and restricting write access is necessary to prevent unauthorized changes.

Reproducible Research Data Management with DataLad Inadequate reproducibility, a lack of transparency, and inefficient workflows - many scientific disciplines have a pressing need for innovation. Additionally, the research process is becoming increasingly digital, computational, and collaborative. I argue that technical solutions to these challenges already exist and can be found in professional software development. These solutions primarily include tools for interactive version control of code and data, such as Git or DataLad, as well as software containers like Docker. In this presentation, I will primarily focus on effective research data management with DataLad. I will discuss how these tools are transforming scientific workflows and identify the (predominantly non-technical) hurdles that exist regarding their implementation.
