In this workshop, the Center for Reproducible Science and Research Synthesis (CRS) of the University of Zurich will introduce the participants to writing reproducible manuscripts and analyses using R and Quarto. Such dynamic reporting tools help researchers make their analyses transparent, shareable, and reproducible, and avoid error-prone and laborious copying and pasting of numbers, tables, figures, and other results.
The workshop will begin with an introductory presentation on the purpose and fundamentals of dynamic reporting. The second part is hands-on, and participants are supported to follow along on their own computers and produce a minimally viable reproducible report. The hands-on demo is done in R but a version using Python is also provided. Finally, we will show best practices for sharing and publishing, and show some advanced workflows using version control and software containerization.
