This meeting aims to offer an essential overview of reproducible workflows and the practical implications of conducting research that can be reliably reproduced in the future. Following the introductory presentation, various training and educational resources will be highlighted, designed to enhance reproducibility across different research domains. Participants will have the opportunity to create a tailored plan outlining specific actions they can take to boost the reproducibility of their own research efforts.

Target audience: This session is targeted at early-career researchers (ECRs), including PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, research assistants, lab managers, and any other academics eager to learn about reproducible workflows.

Agenda:
13:00 - Registration which includes coffee and seating arrangements.

13:15 - Welcome remarks and information about DKRN.

13:20 - Panel discussion: Reproducibility in action
Panelists will discuss their experiences and approaches to fostering reproducibility in their research. The moderator will steer the conversation, and audience participation will be encouraged for questions towards the end.

Moderator: Richard Dennis from reNEW, UCPH. Panelists include Prof. Jakob Demant (Dept. of Sociology, UCPH) discussing qualitative social science research, Assoc. Prof. Melanie Ganz (Dept. of Computer Science, UCPH) focusing on natural sciences/medicine with large datasets, and Assoc. Prof. Arne Henningsen (Dept. of Food and Resource Economics, UCPH) emphasizing quantitative social science research with smaller datasets.

14:10 - Break

14:20 - Workshop led by Mareike Buss and Kristoffer Gulmark Poulsen (Copenhagen Business School)
Part 1: Reproducibility regarding data availability and publishing

15:00 - Workshop Part 2: Demonstrating a Template for Replication Packages

• Live demonstration of a template for replication packages, including git repository setup, version control tools, workflow integration, documentation, and considerations for sensitive data.

15:55 - Break

16:00 - Group discussion, moderated by Karina Maria Gregersen

As the workshop concludes, attendees will be invited to discuss the opportunities and challenges of incorporating reproducibility in their projects, as well as to share essential skills and training necessary for success. The participation of DKRN in advancing reproducibility initiatives within their organizations will also be explored.

16:30 - Networking and social gathering
