MOC is our ongoing attempt at building a Medium Online Course on
using R for data analysis in psychology and related fields.
It is consists of an online book with exercises and other accompanying materials.
In the future we can expand it to feature a study plan and/or video tutorials/classes, etc...
To read what we have written so far you can head over to the book's page.
To collaborate on this project you can head over to its GitLab project page.
SciOps is our ongoing attempt to create a template (or templates) to help researchers leverage cutting-edge tools to increase their productivity, by automating repetitive tasks, as well as their research's reproducibility and transparency.
These tools are already being used today by programmers, be it on the largest of organizations or on the smallest teams, to do what is labeled CI/CD (continuous integration and continuous delivery). However, their use in science is still quite rare...and that is what we aim to change with SciOps.
Currently the prototype template is capable of automatically running R
data analysis scripts, in the cloud (automatically installing and
running the required packages in a Docker container), as well as
compile an academic paper draft and conference slides using RMarkdown.
To collaborate on this project you can head over to its GitLab project page.
To learn about this project you can checkout these slides from a workshop that mentioned it, but you're probably better of asking about it in our discord, mailing list, or reaching out to joao.filipe.santos@campus.ul.pt directly.
This website itself is an ongoing effort on organizing our resources and letting people know about what we do at RUGGED.
The website is compiled from plain markdown files with some custom
HTML, CSS, and image files. It is hosted and automatically rendered
by GitLab as a GitLab Pages' page, using make
it_stop (a static site
generator developed by one of our members---João O. Santos).
To collaborate on this project you can head over to its GitLab project page.
To take a look at the website...well you're already doing that so...just carry on browsing to see what we have done so far.
To contribute to our projects you can head on over to our GitLab group and look through the list. There's an entry for each project featured on this list.
If you are not part of our GitLab group, but you have a GitLab account, you can go to our group and ask to be invited. If you don't have a GitLab account you can create one here.
Importantly, you do not have to be very experienced with R, git,
GitLab or the other tools we use to contribute. There are less
technical ways to help, for instance, commenting on discussions, giving
feedback and suggestions, helping translate resources, etc... You can
take a look at the open issues labeled "good first
issue",
for...well...a "good first issue" to get you started contributing to our
projects.
If you're more comfortable with projects and/or tooling but don't know how you can help , you can take a look at the open issues labeled "help wanted" for...well...a list of issues where help is wanted.
