Workshop: Efficient Workflow Management for Transparent and Reproducible Empirical Research

Richard Ball, Project TIER, Haverford College

This workshop will introduce the broad principles of transparency and reproducibility in empirical social science research, and discuss strategies for putting those principles into practice. These strategies include guidance on how to organize the work you do throughout the entire process of conducting a research project, and on how to make the replication documentation you prepare to accompany a completed study useful to other researchers. The goal of the workshop is to demonstrate some simple techniques and tools that participants can easily adopt—and adapt—for use in their own research. The workshop is primarily intended for researchers who work with quantitative data.

This workshop is open to all CU graduate students, postdocs, and faculty.

Registration is required. Please email: nancy.thorwardson@colorado.edu and include your name and email address, and indicate your level of familiarity and experience with the GitHub platform for managing and sharing research materials.
