1.2. Credible research
Doing research you can believe in
About these materials
Welcome! This workshop is intended to provide learners with an introduction to open research, its core values, principles and key open open research practises with the ultimate goal to boost replicability of research outputs. More specifically, it explores how replicability can be increased by fostering reliability on the one hand, and reproducibility on the other hand. Through a priori study planning and tools such as preregistration, registered reports and data simulation methods researchers can reduce their inherent biases and produce more reliable studies. Through data sharing and increasing computational reproducibility, for example through RStudio projects, living Quarto documents and meticulous documentation of code and all research steps involved, researchers can foster reproducibility of their work. This workshop presents concrete alternative tools to produce replicable and credible research.
Who are these materials for?
The target audience of this workshop is twofold:
Self-learners with familiarity about the challenges around reproducibility and replicability in research, who are interested in diving deeper into the Open Research framework and learn about specific tools to boost research replicability through a combination of real-life examples and practical exercises. You can follow these materials by chronologically going through the slides and following along the practical exercises. You go at your own pace and within your own timeframe. Presenter notes will help you to understand and reflect on the content of the materials. Note: Group exercises are not possible in this asynchronous setting.
Instructors in higher education (e.g., universities, colleges) aiming to convey the content of these materials to their learners in a synchronous (in-person, virtual or hybrid) class-room setting. The slides can be directly presented in full screen below, with presenter and instructor notes providing detailed information about the content of the materials and valuable pedagogical tips how to convey the materials to your learners. You can also download the PowerPoint corresponding to the materials below and adapt the materials to your learners. Make sure to give appropriate credit to the original authors.
