Leadership within the Scientific Community

Arnaud Legrand has organized a series of webinars on reproducible research and whose aim is to introduce the audience to one particular aspect of reproducible research and to illustrate how this aspect can be addressed with state-of-the-art tools. To this end, experts of a given topic are invited and their seminar is screencast so that researchers from other universities can easily follow it. So far, the following topics have been covered:

1. Introduction (reproducible research, challenges, ethic, ...) to reproducible research. Producing replicable articles and managing a laboratory notebook.

2. Controlling your experimental environment

3. Numerical reproducibility

4. Logging and backing up your work: a not so short introduction to git for research

5. Preserving software: ensuring availability and tracking provenance

6. Reproducible science in bioinformatics: current status, solutions and research opportunities
