Reproducible Quantitative Methods

Lesson 14

Preparing a paper for publication / The future of open science and reproducible research

yeah bar

Topics and Resources

  1. Preparing a paper for publication

    Refer to the style guide of your target journal. Use this as a guideline for populating out those issue lists on github. This will be imortant for keeping the momentum up once the semester wraps.

  2. Open science and the future

    We're going to use these last two weeks to zoom out- let's think about how we move forward, as scientists and citizens, knowing what we know about the scientific enterprise now.

Exercises

  1. Preparing a manuscript for submission and review
  2. Revisit github issue list to ensure all tasks that need completion prior to submission are represented. Use the ‘instructions for authors’ document provided by your journal of choice to help guide this. And if you're ready, submit the manuscript! If you're not, let's start tinking about a schedule for completion, and how I can facilitate this process.


    ProTip


    A helpful hint from those that came before

    But what if we're not ready? It is okay if the paper is not done yet- just be sure you leave this class with everyone knowing what needs to be done to get this paper out, and schedule regular check-ins to help make progress towards completion.

Discussion

Looking towards the future

Use this discussion as an opportunity to give feedback on the course, and to help guide you in embracing open science and reproducible research in your future endeavours.
