AVI 2022 conference tutorial by Antti Knutas, Natasha Tylosky, and Tanvir Hasan
Open data is increasingly important in European research projects due to personal or organizational commitment to open data, such as Horizon funding requirements. This tutorial begins with a review of how H2020 guidelines have been met in example projects and publications, and continues with a practical demonstration of how both research processes and research data can be processed and published openly with RStudio, RMarkdown, and Zenodo pipeline. We will conclude with a shared discussion of current challenges and exceptions to open publishing.
Thank you for your interest in the workshop! In this workshop, we cover open data requirements from a research project perspective, briefly recap open science data, and present a sample workflow that can assist you in opening up your both analysis process and data.
