Reproducible and dynamic reporting with R and Quarto — Getting started
Reproducibility in practice: version control and dynamic reporting - shareCTD schooling event
The workshop covered important concepts and practical tools to improve computational reproducibility in practice:
- Version control with Git - track changes, share and publish your code and documentation
- Dynamic reporting with Quarto - use documents with executable code, text, figures and results for more reproducible analysis workflows
- Theory, live demos and use cases from actual projects

SIRRO Training in Data management
Rachel Heyard, Eva Furrer
Four training events:
- May 6, 2024 at UZH and at ETHZ
- May 31, 2024 at the University of Bern
- Jun3 7 , 2024 at the University of Geneva
In the data management workshop, we covered questions such as (1) How to best manage your data and research projects?, (2) What are the FAIR principles?, and (3) How can good meta data and documentation improve your research output? In the practical part, participants got a first taste of version control using Gitlab. Link to Material
