Preface
Hello! And welcome!
This introductory course, Open Reproducible Research (ORR), emphasises the principles and strategies of open science and reproducible research, and provides concrete recommendations and best practices for applying them to scientific research and academic projects. The course is not limited to a particular discipline or area of knowledge; it is intended for participants with diverse backgrounds. Where relevant, specific aspects are illustrated in the field of GIScience.
This course contains materials for everyone who wants to teach or learn open and reproducible research practices. Facilitators may begin by exploring the connections among the core units and the technology stack before proceeding to the rest of the course’s units. Intentionally, the course does not include pedagogical or desing principles; rather, it is a brief, practical introduction based on a curated list of related works and my own previous experience on the topic. If you are a learner, consider jumping straight into the learner persona unit to place yourself.
The course is scheduled to be offered in 2 or 3 weeks and designed to be lectured in person. While the course is running, some material might not be visible and will be unlocked as the course unfolds. At any other time, this website (as a book format) remains online and publicy accesible, with small updates happening on an ongoing basis and larger updates every time the course is offered again.
