Reproducible science

Reproducible research

Introduce the concept

When given the same starting point, you can always have the same output. So that if someone else is given the same data, they will get the same results as you.

This involves:

• Writing scripts (Source)
• Commenting within the script about what you're doing

In R:

• library(ggplot2) #We load this library
• Show a screenshot of R-Studio's text editor

Introduce Github

• To save the files and have version control
• Introduce Git within R Studio
• Live demo of Git within R Studio / Screenshots

Show an end result

• Pull in a commit to show the next step

Improvers

• R markdown
• Branches
