The workshop will introduce you to tools that can help you make your workflow more reproducible. You are required to install the following software programs before coming to the workshop for the hands-on exercises. (This takes a while, so please don't leave it to the last minute! It's OK if you run into difficulties; we'll be happy to help.)
The numbered files/directories will take you through the workshop in order.
1-Intro features a set of slides (Beamer/LaTeX slides rendered as PDF) that discuss the reproducibility crisis in the social sciences.
2-Reg-and-PAP is slides and activities on registration and pre-analysis plans.
3-Repro-Code is slides and activities on coding for reproducibility.
4-DataSharing-and-Rep is slides and activities on data de-identification, sharing, and replication.
5-VersionControl describes activities for using Git with the Github Desktop application and the Github website.
6-[fill in the blank] contains example files to run dynamic documents in both Stata and R.
X-Frontier is a set of slides on new opportunities (grants, workshops, etc.) in transparency.
X-Tools-Intro is a set of slides covering the software tools we'll discuss.
