Day 1 Afternoon Session: Best Practices
--

- **Design**:
- Is the repository well structured? Are files and directories easy to find? (See [template repository](https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/reproducible-project-template))
- Does the project repository have a README file or landing page, linking to useful resources from their project? See [reference](https://the-turing-way.netlify.app/project-design/project-repo/project-repo-readme.html)
- Have does this study apply collaborative approaches? Have they described it on their README?

*

*

- **Open**:
- Is the code openly available? See [reference](https://the-turing-way.netlify.app/reproducible-research/open/open-source.html). (You can optionally look at some lines of code to see if the scripts are commented, and if the code is readable/understandable.)
- Do they describe how the research data is collected, used and shared? Is the process for accessing the data clear? See [reference](https://the-turing-way.netlify.app/reproducible-research/rdm.html). (In some cases data will not be shared openly, for instance, when using sensitive data. However, those projects may provide test or synthetic data to test the code on.)
- What licenses do they have? Is it permissive - would you be able to reuse it? See [reference](https://the-turing-way.netlify.app/reproducible-research/licensing.html). (Note that projects may have multiple licences).

*

- **Reproducibility**:
- Is there sufficient documentation to help you reproduce the project (such as: Contributing guidelines, installation guide, User manual)?
- Do they describe reproducible environment (such as: conda, docker, package management system). See [reference](https://the-turing-way.netlify.app/reproducible-research/renv.html)
- What other reproducible tools and practices does this project use? (based on the presentation this morning). See [Guide for Reproducibility](https://the-turing-way.netlify.app/reproducible-research/reproducible-research.html).
*
*
*

- **Ethics**:
- Why is this an important study for society? Does it describe ethical implication of their work? See [reference](https://the-turing-way.netlify.app/ethical-research/ethics-committees.html)
- What aspects of this work may have potential harm/loss in the society if the study does/did/will not address it?

Day 2 Afternoon Session: Brainstorming Open Infrastructure Roles
--

1. **Which different infrastructure roles (if any) can you identify as having been involved?**
- Ethics,Data Science,Software Engineering,Research Application Managers, Policy
- Can you identify any roles that *should* have been involved?

*
*
*

2. **What work was involved for each role?**
- How to collaborate?
- Stakeholder mapping / engagement?
- What stages of the project does each role need to be involved?
- Oversight / Organization

*
*
*

3. **What skills would you need for each role?**
- Think about:
- Open, reproducible research
- Domain Knowledge
- Internal/External Communication
- Management / Leadership
- Strategy / Vision

*
*
*

4. **What resources would you need for the project to succeed?**
- List priorities
- Estimate scale of project resources
- Funding

*
*
*

5. **How would you improve the case study if you were to do it again?**
