The Berkeley Initiative for Transparency in the Social Sciences (BITSS) invites applications for the Research Transparency and Reproducibility Training (RT2) in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, in April 4-6, 2018. RT2 provides participants with an overview of tools and best practices for transparent and reproducible social science research. The curriculum is developed and delivered by academic leaders in the transparency movement, and there will be space for collaborative work and hands-on skill building. Participants are encouraged to bring existing research questions and ideas based on their own interests to seek support and feedback from instructors and other attendees.
WORTH
- Participants can expect to finish the program with a thorough overview and understanding of best practices for open, reproducible research, allowing them to remain in the vanguard of new scientific frontiers.
- Formerly known as the Summer Institute, RT2 includes more hands-on sessions incorporating new tools to facilitate research transparency. In addition to interactive sessions, participants will also be provided a Reading Packet prior to their arrival.
ELIGIBILITY
- RT2 is designed for researchers from across the social sciences, with particular emphasis on economics, political science, and psychology.
- Ideal candidates include:
- PhD and Masters students
- Postdocs
- Junior faculty
- Research staff from organizations interested in using these methods
- Journal editors or research funders curious about the implications for their work.
- Diversity in terms of background and academic discipline is encouraged.
- Participants with experience using R or Stata are likely to get more out of this training than those without.
DEADLINE: January 31, 2018
