[ged] Special seminar on data archiving and reproducible research.

[Likit Preeyanon]

Hi guys,

Ian Dworkin will be talking about data archiving and reproducible research next week on Wednesday 12-1pm room 244 Nat. Sci.
I think this seminar is interesting for most people, so I would like to encourage you to join the seminar.
To accomodate this, there will be no GED journal club next week. 

Please find all the information about the seminar below.

Owen will be talking the week after next week. The paper will be sent out a week in advance.

Cheers.

>  In this seminar I will introduce, and discuss the merits of "data
> sharing"; the depositing of raw data associated with publications into
> public databases such as DRYAD (http://datadryad.org/) or KNB
> (http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/).  While sharing of data such as DNA
> sequences, gene expression data (microarrays and RNA sequencing) has
> been  required (with available public databases) for a while, it has
> been only recently that databases have become available, coinciding
> with both funding agencies (such as the NSF) requiring data sharing
> and management plans and many leading journals in ecology and
> evolution also requiring this data. I will discuss why it is so
> important to share raw data (after publication) in public databases,
> in the sciences in general and ecology and evolutionary biology in
> particular. I will discuss "best" practices, for data archiving, and
> how this may aid in exposure and citation rate of your publications.
> In addition I will introduce several issues relating to "reproducible
> research", in particular with respect to data cleaning and analysis.
