Sharing slides and resources

Reproducibility workshops are intended to provide as many people as possible with tools to make their research endeavors more reproducible. As such, you should make a real effort to make materials produced from the workshop including worksheets, slides, handouts, and write-ups as easily accessible as possible.

A few simple ways to make materials accessible

• Host all workshop materials online If you’ve organized your workshop with help from one of the “Reproducibility for all” members, it’s likely they can make a web page for your workshop, host any materials created, and share these materials through links on the webpage. If nothing else, you can always place all materials from the event in a publicly-accessible Google drive folder and share links to the folder with any interested parties. An example event page can be found here.

• Share workshop materials on social media Ideally you should promote your workshop on social media prior to the date of the event (you should definitely do this if you’d like people watch a livestream of the event or participate remotely). You should also promote the results of the event, including all workshop materials, on social media. Be sure to tag individuals who participated in the event and provide links to materials produced in your posts. Sample tweet:

• Blog about the key takeaways from the workshop Blogging will help you consolidate your thoughts about the workshop and can provide anyone who couldn’t attend a good summary of the takeaways from the event. You can include links to the workshop webpages and materials, or directly imbed slides and videos in your blog post. You can find an example here and learn more about blogging about your event here.
