Teaching
Consortium for reproducible final year undergraduate (UG) research projects (2019-2022)
- Final year projects for students run as part of a reproducibility consortium
- Collaborative study design, protocol preregistration on OSF (e.g. see https://osf.io/8qjnd), and data collection
- Students learn about reproducible research practices and contribute to all research outputs
- Current consortium is formed by supervisors and students at Cardiff University, University of Bath, and Aston University
- More details on this initiative can be found in our latest article
