This month's #editorschoice is a Forum Article! Code review increases reliability and reproducibility of research; a detailed guide of how to review code, set up your project for code review, and using code review throughout the research process: 👉onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Implementing code review in the scientific workflow: Insights from ecology and evolutionary biology

Implementing code review in the scientific workflow: Insights from ecology and evolutionary biology

Code review is the process of either informally (as part of a group, as colleagues) or formally (as part of the peer review process) checking and evaluating each other's code and is a critical...

As the #rstats course material is not public (yet?) or available as online training (yet?), I thought I am sharing some slides from the deck. The course covers all steps of the #DataScience workflow as featured in @hadleywickham's fantastic #R4DS 📕 r4ds.had.co.nz/index.html
The title slide of the workshop "Reproducible Data Analysis with R".

ALT The title slide of the workshop "Reproducible Data Analysis with R".

Three avatars (customised versions of the lovely Open Peeps project) showing myself holding a cup of coffee ("Consulting"), knowingly shrugging ("Coaching") and holding a laptop with hex stickers and heart-eyes ("Coding").

A conceptional representation of the data science workflow:the first step is data import, afterwards the data gets tidied (prepared, shaped). Then follows an iterative process of visualization, transformation and modeling. Once the final analysis is done, the results need to be communicated. All is embedded in the programing context as we are using R as a code-first workflow.
