About the talk

The lifecycle of a research project spans months and often years, with plenty of disruptions along the way. From preregistration to publication, there is plenty of room for error as you forget what settings you used for your analyses or make a mistake cleaning your data. In this seminar, I will outline how establishing a reproducible workflow helps yourself and the scientific community. Changing your approach can be daunting, so I will be outlining the mistakes I made along the way including a spreadsheet mix-up and a cringy preregistration. By the end of the seminar, you will see how you can incrementally create your own reproducible workflow.
