All of our events may be recorded and shared via the University of Sheffield Kaltura platform so those who cannot attend may still benefit. We will consider your attendance implicit consent to this.

Bob Turner and Will Furnass from the RSE team talked about methods and tools for reproducible computational workflows at one of ScHARR’s Statistics Academic Group’s regular seminars, covering:

  • The importance and purpose of software to/in research;
  • A definition of ‘good’ software;
  • The value of making data and code available inc. copyright and licensing;
  • Managing source code using version control;
  • Testing software for correctness and robustness;
  • How the RSE team can help and how researchers can collaborate with us.
