Reproducible Research

3,063 Replies

We’re currently preparing a series of guides for students which will cover the use of essential software tools for research. The modules will cover what we believe are the most important pieces of software for students to become proficient data managers and efficient paper and report writers.
All the tools listed are open source and allow for collaborative document management. The core principles are well described in Christopher Gandrud’s excellent book:
Reproducible Research – with R & RStudio

In preparing the lessons, it’s been interesting to survey the tools that we and other researchers use regularly and look at why we use these tools. Here’s an outline of the lessons:

  • Document Management
    • LaTeX
    • LaTeX extensions (templates, knitr, texcount)
    • Collaborative Editing (ShareLaTex, Etherpad)
    • Bibliographic Managament (BibTex, Zotero)
    • Version Management with Git
    • Cloud Storage and Security (Owncloud, encfs)
  • Statistics
    • R and R-studio
    • Shiny and knitr
  • Programming for Researchers
    • Why you’ll need to program and why it’s no harder than cooking
    • OS basics and BASH
    • MATLAB and why (not) to use it
    • Python
  • Graphics
    • Image formats: vector graphics vs bitmaps
    • SVG and the fine art of Inkscape
    • Dynamic graphics with Processing
  • Web Publishing
    • HTML is your friend
    • Intellectual Property and Privacy
    • Running your own blog
    • Integrating with LaTeX
  • Hardware
    • Basic Electronics
    • Arduino
    • Principles of Neuroimaging
    • Putting it all together

The resources for these lessons will be published as open documents in the future. We’d be interested to hear your comments if there are other subjects that you’d be interested in.

    Thanks alot : ) for your post. I would really like to say that the expense of car insurance varies from one scheme to another, mainly because there are so many different facets which give rise to the overall cost. By way of example, the brand name of the auto will have a huge bearing on the purchase price. A reliable older family automobile will have a more economical premium than the usual flashy performance car.
