CODATA Connect Webinar on Thinking Reproducibility in Your Research Work | 13th August

CODATA Connect Webinar on Thinking Reproducibility in Your Research Work

Date: Thursday 13th August 2020
Time: 1:30 PM IST (10 AM CET)
Duration: 40 min session and 20 min Question Answers (Total 1 hour)
Registration Link: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/1542506370658047758

Brief Write up about the session: Over the last half century, many cases of misconduct have been seen in scientific publications: several published papers have been retracted as a result of outright fraud, data manipulation, data theft, and other negative practices. The core tenets of the scientific research processes are not always upheld by all researchers. During the past decade, the field of reproducible research has been welcomed in many corners of scientific research. Its overarching goal is to revive excellence in scientific research. It requires specific tools and skill-sets at each stage of the research process, but these are not always obvious for many researchers. The need to continue to teach the benefits and processes of reproducibility in scientific research is fundamental. In this session, I will introduce participants to the landscape of reproducibility in scientific research and introduce participants to the main tools required for the implementation of reproducibility in their own research work. The session will present some case studies to highlight the issues being discussed.

Name of the Speaker: Bright Nwaru

He teaches courses in epidemiology and research methods and is an ardent supporter of reproducibility in scientific research.

CODATA Connect Webinar 4: Data Journalism to Bridge the Information Asymmetry | 14th July

CODATA Connect Webinar 4: Data Journalism to Bridge the Information Asymmetry 

Date:  14th July 2020
Time: 6:30-7:30 IST | 3:00 – 4:00 PM CEST, 1:00 – 2:00 PM UTC
Duration: 1 hour (40 min session and 20 min Question Answers)
Registration link: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/7324243184717036811

Brief about the session: The humongous amount of digital data available in the media ecosystem makes it important for journalists to create sense out of this massive information for the consumers. This is often made possible by explaining the background, significance and context of the information. Decoding the 'signal from the noise' is probably more important for news consumers than access to information itself. The availability of massive data is both a blessing and a challenge to journalists. They do not have to rely on sources who have access to information for news leads, the amount of data available can be readily accessed to create news stories on every conceivable topic. Data is used both as a source and a tool. However this requires newer skills from journalists to access reliable data, analyse it and present it in a manner which is useful for consumers.
The session will deal with accessing public data, analysing it through simple spreadsheet techniques and creating attractive stories out of it through standard narrative journalism techniques.
