| 7 | +## CALL FOR PAPERS/PREPRINTS/CODE: Are you a researcher in geosciences interested in reproducible code and Open Science? We have the perfect opportunity for you! |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +As part of our NWO project [CHECK-NL](https://codecheck.org.uk/nl), **we are looking for researchers from the field of geosciences based at a Dutch knowledge institution or university who would like their papers or projects to be “codechecked” during a live, one-day code-checking workshop on 26 September 2024** at the University of Twente. A codecheck is a light-touch independent peer review to check that your code and data can generate the computational results in your paper or project (see more details [here](https://codecheck.org.uk/process/)). |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +You can participate as a codechecker (i.e., a person reviewing code), or by submitting your own work to be checked (or both if you are up for it!). *Curious to know how it works? Read about our first [workshop in Delft](https://codecheck.org.uk/nl-workshop1/).* |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +Anyone is welcome to participate at the workshop. Participation is free of cost and includes lunch. We have limited funding (on a first come, first served basis) for reimbursing train tickets for PhD (non-AiO) students. PhD candidates who participate in the workshop can reach out to us about getting credits for participation, provided their supervisors and institutions/departments also agree. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +## What do I get if I submit my paper or pre-print? |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +A codechecker will work with you during the session to check whether your code and data can be run by others to generate the same or similar results. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +The codechecker will work with you to resolve any issues found during the code check, and make your code as reproducible as possible! |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +Upon completion, your paper will receive a codecheck certificate that confirms your results could be reproduced. This can be shared, for instance with potential journal editors, to enhance the visibility and reproducibility of your work. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +By participating, you contribute towards making science more open and transparent AND increase the visibility of your own research! |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +## Sounds good! What should I do? |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +Are you interested in participating in this event, and help contribute to promoting code reproducibility? Send an email to [email protected] **by 2 September 2024 ** with a *brief description of your paper/project, and links to your code and data *. This could be code related to: |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +- A paper that you have recently published |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +- A preprint that is publicly available |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +- Code and results files that have been or will be deposited in a repository, preferably GitHub or GitLab |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +In each case, the code and data underlying the paper should be openly available, or you plan to make them available once the paper is published. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +**Selected papers/projects will be notified in early September 2024. All authors are invited to register join the workshop.** |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +## What if I want to volunteer to be a codechecker instead? |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +If you are interested in learning more about the codecheck process and becoming a codechecker, please register on our [eventbrite page](https://www.eventbrite.nl/e/codecheck-workshop-for-the-geosciences-tickets-945474348227?aff=oddtdtcreator) to volunteer to become a codechecker at the workshop on 26th September. The event will be held in person at the University of Twente. |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +### Why would I volunteer your time to code check other people's work? |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +- Learn how others ensure reproducibility of their work |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +- Gaining hands-on experience in peer reviewing code |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +- Learn to make your own code more reproducible |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +- Contributing to more transparent science |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +*Interested but still have questions? Ask us!* |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +Write to us at [email protected], we are happy to answer any questions! |
