Tools for Reproducible Research – Wednesday 17 March, 12:30pm
With Alex Coleman, Research Software Engineer from the Research Computing Team, and Daniel Valdenegro Ibarra, PhD Researcher in the School of Politics and International Studies.
Reproducibility is a critical part of research but often we don’t start our research projects with ensuring reproducibility in mind. Thankfully, there’s a large array of useful tools and techniques for ensuring our work is reproducible which can help supercharge our research projects and ensure we have lasting and impactful outcomes.

Not just for STEM: Open and reproducible research in the social sciences – Thursday 22 April, 12:30pm
With Viktoria Spaiser, Associate Professor in Sustainability Research and Computational Social Sciences at the School of Politics and International Studies.
Viktoria will talk about how open and reproducible research is currently practised in the social sciences. Hear about how it varies in quantitative, computational, and qualitative social research and how these practices are currently changing. Viktoria will outline the specific barriers for open and reproducible research in social science, and how at least some of them could be addressed in the future.
