ReproducibiliTea
A journal club on 'open and reproducible science'
About
Our Journal Club is open to everyone: Open Science enthusiasts, beginners or skeptics! Together, we can learn from one another and improve how we conduct and share our research, data, methods, code, statistical analyses, and more. We cater to both qualitative and quantitative methodologists and focus on all aspects of Open Science in research. We drew inspiration from and are supported by the original ReproducibiliTea journal club and are supported by Reproducible Research Oxford, the local UK Reproducibility Network node.
When
We meet on Wednesdays at 12.30pm for 1 hour and run for 8 weeks each academic term to align with the Oxford academic calendar.
Where
The Radcliffe Primary Care Building and the Gibson Building in the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter (32 Woodstock Road, OX2 6HT). For rooms, see our timetable and sign up for updates here.
The format
For each session, we expect attendees to have read the assigned paper. Georgia Richards and Nick DeVito will present a short (5-15mins) overview of the chosen paper with the remainder of the session dedicated to free discussion amongst all attendees. For some Journal Clubs, we will have a workshop where we present some of the available tools and have more practical discussions to help develop skills. Papers for each week are available via zotero.
We will circulate meeting details via email, so sign up here.
Your voice is welcome here, and we offer a friendly atmosphere.
