LMU Open Science CenterNearing the finish line, we wrapped up our fourth day of the Open Science Summer School 2025 ✅We’re excited for the final day to bring together the skills we’ve explored throughout the week and launch the Train-the-Trainer programme ✨ where participants will not only gain new competencies but also learn how to effectively teach and share them with other researchers.
📌 Here’s a recap of Day 4:
💻 Vera Karlbauer and Jonas Hagenberg talked about the importance of having readable code for both the reader and author while giving practical recommendations: provide structure, follow programming style standards, and engage with reciprocal code peer review!
📝 Pat Callahan and Florian Kohrt were assisted by Reema Gupta in conducting two workshops. 1️⃣ The first workshop guided participants from downloading the Quarto software all the way to combining text and code to create reproducible manuscripts ready for submission. 2️⃣ The second concentrated on building a reproducible R environment and the considerations for publishing code with appropriate license and documentation.
🔬 Dr. Tim Errington promoted open science practices in research communities as a solution for key barriers to testing the replicability of studies, such as limited access to data, code, reagents. He presented insights from the Reproducibility Project: Cancer Biology.
Although the public lectures are over, registered participants still have one more day to benefit from the workshops and interactive sessions! You can find slides and recording of the public lectures here: https://osf.io/x639j/files/osfstorage
