Scientific workflows: Tools and tips / Lecture series by Dr. Selina Baldauf
Early-career researchers understand the importance of digital tools for processing data, managing workflows, and enhancing efficiency. However, they often lack time to discover new tools and improve their workflows. In this lecture series we will explore a diverse range of topics, including R code quality and efficiency, reproducible document creation, version control with Git, literature management, and academic notetaking. You'll learn practical tips and tricks that can help you optimize your research workflow and increase your productivity.
We will meet online every third Thursday of a month for one hour and you are welcome to join.

Description: Quarto (the successor of rmarkdown) is a powerful tool that enables the seamless integration of code (R, Python, and more) and its output into a variety of formats such as reports, research papers, presentations, and more. This tool streamlines the process of creating reproducible workflows by eliminating the need to copy and paste figures, tables, or numbers. During this lecture, you'll learn the fundamentals of Quarto and explore practical use cases that you can implement in your data analysis workflow.

Description: Git is an essential skill if you use any programming language. It allows you to keep track of changes to your project over time, collaborate with others, and maintain a clear and organized project structure. This can save time, improve research efficiency, and also makes it easy to publish your code via platforms such as Github. In this lecture, I will introduce the basic concepts of Git and how to use it for you own projects. The lecture is for Git beginners but also for people who use basic Git for their own projects and want to know a bit more about the concepts behind the workflow.
