Registration is now open for the Aberdeen Study Group Reprothon hosted at RSS! The Reprothon officially starts on the 14th September 2022, 15:50 – 16:50 UK time. During this time, we will be hosting a live in-person event where you’ll be given the opportunity to take part and ask questions. Don’t worry if you can’t pop along to the session, the Reprothon will be live until further notice so you can take part at a time that suits you.
To sign up for the Reprothon, enter your email address in the signup form below and we will send you an email with your unique Reprothon ID.
You should be aware that all contributions to the project will fall under the project’s license and can be reused, remixed and shared according to that license.
The aim of the Reprothon is to understand the longevity and reproducibility of R code by going through queries from StackOverflow to identify whether or not the accepted answer still works. You can find out more info about why we are doing this on the main Reprothon page.
Your job will be to work through a query randomly generated from Stackoverflow to find out whether or not the accepted answer still works. Once you’ve done that, you will upload your results via a Google Form, and you can move on to another query - you can do as many as you like!
If you want to make your contribution to Reprothon more interactive, why not set up a team with your friends or colleagues? You will all still use your individual ID when submitting results but could set up a working space for you and your group to chat together as you work through your queries. If you don’t have a team but would like to join one, let us know by emailing aberdeenstudygroup@gmail.com and we’ll pair you with someone!
A detailed how-to guide can be found in the list of resources below. If you have any questions, we will be around to help you out either in person on the day or via social media and email.
Part of open science is connecting and sharing our work and experiences. We encourage you to post updates on social media during the session and conference. If you’re on Twitter, you can use and follow the #Reprothon2022 and #Hackers2022 hashtags to share your experience and see what others are up to.
