Event Description

Event Description (this event is only open for Durham University staff and research students ONLY)

Reproducibility, the ability to reproduce reported results from available data, computer code and reported methodology or documentation, is the minimum requirement for assessing robustness and reliability of research outputs. 

To promote reproducibility and provide opportunity for researchers to engage with it in practice, the Durham Research Method Centre, Durham University Advanced Research Computing, the Durham University Research Data Team and Durham RIOTS Club have organised a ReproHack. This is a half-day reproducibility hackathon where participants attempt to reproduce results from code. data and documentation from papers or pre-prints, usually on their own laptop. It is also an opportunity for researchers to help others learn from their work by submitting their papers, code, data and documentation for reproduction and review.  

The day will begin with an introduction and two short talks by guest speakers:

Emma Karoune is an Archaeobotanist/Palaeocologist and Open Researcher at the Alan Turing Institute, as well as a Fellow of the Software Sustainability Institute. Emma will talk about her work on the Turing Way, a handbook on reproducible, ethical and collaborative data science

Etienne Roesch is Associate Professor of Cognitive Science at the University of Reading, and Deputy Director of the Centre for Integrative Neuroscience & Neurodynamics. He will talk about his work with the UK Reproducibility Network.
