The Riffomonas Reproducible Research Tutorial Series

Abstract

The Riffomonas Reproducible Research tutorial series is a collection of tutorials that focuses on the improvement of reproducible data analysis for those doing microbial ecology research. Although the materials focus on issues in microbial ecology, the principles are broadly applicable. Each tutorial presents broad concepts and how they are related to reproducibility as well as applied practice using specific tools that are designed to foster reproducibility. In addition to activities that are specific to individual tutorials, the series also uses data from Kozich et al. (Kozich, Westcott, Baxter, Highlander, & Schloss, 2013) to create an example that is developed over the course of fourteen tutorials. The tutorial series consists of 14 lessons that are available as HTML-based presentations with embedded presenter notes taken from live demonstrations of the content that are available as videos hosted on YouTube.
