What is ReproHack NL?
It is becoming more and more common in various scientific disciplines to supplement published research with openly available data and code. Yet, can we reproduce published results by reanalysing the data using the code? During a ReproHack, participants attempt to reproduce published research of their choice from a list of proposed papers with publicly available associated code and data. Participants get to work with other people’s material in a low-pressure environment and record their experiences on a number of key aspects, including reproducibility, transparency, and reusability of materials. At the end of the day we regroup, share our experiences and give feedback to the authors.
ReproHackNL brings this workshop format to the Netherlands and invites researchers of all seniority levels and all backgrounds to learn from each other.
