OT-ST-WS-07 | Reproducibility in science: How and why?
Registration closed
Dr. Arjun Chennu
The reproducibility crisis in science stems not only from historically poor data availability, but also from a lack of the context used to glean knowledge from the data. Reproducible science seeks to package the analytical context of data – software environment, data organization, analytical interdependencies, expert comments – into an operational product. This has great benefits in multiplying the impact and usefulness of your scientific work for scientists, journalists – and yourself.
