DESCRIPTION:This talk will define reproducible research as ana
 lyses can be recreated in full by an independent s
 cientist. Dr Whitaker will discuss the perceived a
 nd actual barriers experienced by researchers atte
 mpting to conduct reproducible research\, and give
  practical guidance on how they can be overcome. T
 he talk will include suggestions on how to make yo
 ur code and data available and usable for others (
 including a strong suggestion to document both cle
 arly so you don’t have to reply to lots of email q
 uestions from future users...or yourself when that
  revise and submit decision comes through!). Kirst
 ie will cover a brief guide to version control\, c
 ollaboration and dissemination using GitHub as wel
 l as a discussion of tools to help you work reprod
 ucibly from the start. Exercises and resources wil
 l be persistently available after the talk and all
  audience members will leave knowing there is some
 thing they can do to step towards making their res
 earch reproducible.\n\nKirstie Whitaker is a resea
