Creating a dashboard to display open science and reproducible research practices at UC
Local do Estágio
UC Polo 1 and DEI/FCTUC, CISUC
Enquadramento
Goals: To create a dashboard that displays changes in the use of open science and reproducible research practices over time, among biomedical papers published by researchers at the University of Coimbra.
Objetivo
Rationale: Dashboards are a valuable tool for visually displaying data that is of interest to a particular community.
Reproducible research and open science practices, such as open data and open code, are increasingly required by journals and research funders. Use of these practices, when combined with good reporting, can make research more transparent, reproducible and reusable. Examples of relevant practices might include adherence to reporting guidelines, sharing of protocols, data, code or software, use of ORCIDs or author contributions statements or timely reporting of clinical trials. The ScreenIT pipeline includes a combination of tools that detect features like open data and code, limitations sections, blinding, randomization and ethics statements, and common data visualization problems. Data generated using these tools can be displayed in a dashboard, to raise awareness about reporting practices biomedical researchers within the university.
Plano de Trabalhos - Semestre 1
Project: The student will use the ScreenIT pipeline to screen biomedical papers from researchers at the University of Coimbra; then adapt code for a dashboard from another institution to create a dashboard for biomedical research at the University of Coimbra.
Plano de Trabalhos - Semestre 2
TBA
Condições
Required skills: Students need to have intermediate level programming skills in R and/or Python.
