Credible science course

Abstract

Methods for efficient, reliable, and reproducible science

This course is designed to bolster the work of early-career scientists, including first year graduate students, by providing them with guidance to create a precise and personalized pipeline allowing them to efficiently conduct and manage their current or future scientific projects. The course will include several practical workshops on how to use organizational tools (Open Science Framework, RStudio projects, version control systems (Git, GitHub), collaborative platforms (OSF)) to establish a reproducible and transparent workflow, as well as workshops on how to plan and preregister a study (including its sampling design and statistics) to obtain reliable and credible scientific results
