Hacky Hour: "Reviewing essential computing skills for reproducible workflow” 30.09.
by LMU Open Science Center News Sept. 25, 2024

Sept. 25, 2024

Dear reproducible research workflow enthusiasts, Our next hacky hour will take place on Monday, Sept 30, 16:30-18:00, in person at Wikipedia Munich, Angertorstraße 3. In this session, we will welcome newcomers (with pastries!) and revisit essential computing skills for reproducible workflow. After our recent open science summer school, we shared several self-paced tutorials: * Introduction to R: https://lmu-osc.github.io/introduction-to-R/ * Version control with Git within RStudio: https://lmu-osc.github.io/Introduction-RStudio-Git-GitHub/<https://lmu-osc.github.io/Introduction-RStudio-Git-GitHub/> & https://lmu-osc.github.io/Collaborative-RStudio-GitHub/ * Literate programming with Quarto: https://lmu-osc.github.io/introduction-to-Quarto/ * R package management system renv: https://lmu-osc.github.io/introduction-to-renv/ * Introduction to Zotero as reproducible citation management system: https://lmu-osc.github.io/introduction-to-zotero/ * Code publishing: https://lmu-osc.github.io/code-publishing/ and more, on the LMU Open Science Center GitHub organisation: https://github.com/lmu-osc Whether you have followed these tutorials during one of our workshops, on your own, or learn about these topics elsewhere, you are invited to bring your questions or implementation problems along to get help from others! For instance, * you have learned R but are confused about the differences between base R and the tidyverse? Or can’t find the equivalent of your favorite Python hack? * you have learned version control with GitHub, but need to use the LMU GitLab to secure sensitive data and code? * you have started to write your manuscripts with Quarto to alternate plain language and R/Python analyses but struggle to integrate your bibliographic references efficiently or cross reference your figures? * you want to review package management systems or discuss licenses for data and code? * you want a second pair of eyes to look at your code, and engage in reciprocal peer code review? Join a group of reproducible research enthusiasts helping each other by sharing pieces of expertise or by searching for solutions together!

PCI webinar series - 19th Sept 2024 - 4pm CEST (Paris Time) - Reimagining scholarly publishing to promote credible and trustworthy research - Brian Nosek
by LMU Open Science Center News Sept. 17, 2024

Sept. 17, 2024

Dear all, The LMU Open Science Center has recently become a supporter of Peer Community In. They are organizing a webinar on redesigning scholarly publishing (guest: Brian Nosek) on Sept 19 at 16:00, which you are invited to! Best wishes Malika -- Dr. Malika Ihle (she/her) (pronounciation<https://namedrop.io/malikaihle>) LMU Open Science Center Coordinator https://www.osc.lmu.de<https://www.osc.lmu.de/> ________________________________ From: contact PCI <contact(a)peercommunityin.org<mailto:contact@peercommunityin.org>> Date: September 12, 2024 at 13:24:22 GMT+3 To: peercommunityin(a)groupes.renater.fr<mailto:peercommunityin@groupes.renater.fr> Subject: [Peer Community In] PCI webinar series - 19th Sept 2024 - 4pm CEST (Paris Time) - Reimagining scholarly publishing to promote credible and trustworthy research - Brian Nosek Reply-To: contact PCI <contact(a)peercommunityin.org<mailto:contact@peercommunityin.org>> Dear all For those not yet registered: We are pleased to announce the 7th seminar of the PCI webinar series which will take place on 19th of September 2024, online via Zoom, at 4pm CEST (Paris time, until 5.15 pm). Mandatory registration using this link: https://univ-cotedazur.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUudeCrqD8tHtSjC6Ygyivs9MS… After your registration, you will receive a confirmation e-mail with instructions on how to join the meeting. Speaker: Brian Nosek (Center of Open Science) Title: Reimagining scholarly publishing to promote credible and trustworthy research Summary: The purpose of scholarly publishing is to facilitate the communication and interrogation of evidence and claims to advance knowledge production. The business of scholarly publishing interferes with this purpose. Research is inhibited by a scholarly publishing system that [1] is slow, incomplete, opaque, and static, [2] treats the paper as the only meaningful scholarly output, [3] offers dysfunctional, simplistic rewards based on publication and journal status, and [4] is calcified in legacy, commercial business models and infrastructure. Lifecycle Journals is an alternative approach to scholarly publishing intended to address these weaknesses and align the practice of scholarly publishing with its purpose. Lifecycle Journals is complementary to the PCI model of peer review and creates the opportunity for experimentation and collective action of community-based evaluation services to shift control of scholarly communication and reward systems to the community itself. Speaker's bio: Brian Nosek co-developed the Implicit Association Test, a method that advanced research and public interest in implicit bias. Nosek co-founded three non-profit organizations: Project Implicit to advance research and education about implicit bias (http://projectimplicit.net/) the Society for the Improvement of Psychological Science to improve the research culture in his home discipline (http://improvingpsych.org/) and the Center for Open Science (COS; http://cos.io/) to improve rigor, transparency, integrity, and reproducibility across research disciplines. Nosek is Executive Director of COS and a professor at the University of Virginia. Nosek’s research and applied interests are to understand why people and systems produce behaviors that are contrary to intentions and values; to develop, implement, and evaluate solutions to align practices with values; and, to improve research credibility and cultures to accelerate progress. What is the PCI webinar series? -What is it? Seminars on research practices, publication practices, evaluation, scientific integrity, meta-research. -How does it work? Remote conferences using zoom with registration. -For whom is it? For anyone interested in scholarly publication, all PCI users, all PCI recommenders who do preprint evaluations for PCI, authors of articles, etc. -When is it? Once a quarter -Why is it for? To learn about scholarly publishing, to improve our knowledge about scholarly review, to become better reviewers, to create a sense of community among PCI users. -- ******************************* Thomas Guillemaud Peer Community in peercommunityin.org ******************************* Peer Community In To unsubscribe from this list send an empty e-mail to sympa(a)groupes.renater.fr<mailto:sympa@groupes.renater.fr> with 'unsubscribe peercommunityin' as the object (without the inverted commas).
