After the day
The part of the day on tools can only introduce each layer, and the companion curriculum takes each one further.
| If you want | Read |
|---|---|
| The document format in full: the header, chunk options, figures, tables, cross-references and citations | Quarto and reproducible documents |
| Version control from first principles, and a repository of your own online | Git and GitHub |
| Where finished work is deposited, what a licence allows others to do with your work, the Open Science Framework after 2026, and the preregistration templates | Reproducibility repositories |
| Where the data come from: the archives, survey programmes and statistical offices, and the sources used by the course, step by step | Social science data sources |
| To turn your own GESIS downloads into the respondent file, the scales and the panel | Building the analysis file |
| The IDE in depth, and the differences between the three | Positron, RStudio and VS Code |
| The rest of R, from the first line to a grammar of graphics | Getting started with R |
| The statistics behind what you fitted, output by output | The statistical methods behind the course |
| The ideas behind the multiverse, and the arguments against it | The multiverse and its critics |
The replication-focused day is the original balance of this course, the methods-focused day gives the statistics the time that this day gives the tools, and the three-day format does both, with a tools day before the workshop and a methods day after it.
