Making Replication Count: Fall Hackathon
Galerie der ULB Krummer Timpen 3, 48143 Münster
Join us for a three-day-hackathon to create tools to increase the visibility of replications!
Background
In the social, behavioral, and cognitive sciences, replications are rarely conducted, difficult to publish, and hard to find. With over 200 contributors, we have created the FORRT Replication Hub to solve these problems. The purpose of this hackathon is to create tools that increase the findability and visilbity of replications.
What will you work on?
Participants will work in teams on developing one of multiple tools. The specific projects will be announced soon.
Who should apply?
We're looking for coders, programmers, as well as anyone interested in making replications count.
Why join?
The hackathon gives you a chance to collaborate with an international team of open science advocates, build impactful tools for your portfolio and GitHub profile and earn credit on publications, project pages, and the FORRT Contributors page.
Process
After application, we will get in touch to schedule an informal meetup to discuss your goals and skills and preview our hackathon plans. It's a great chance to connect, discuss expectations, and see how we can collaborate for an awesome event!
Limited number of travel grants
This project is funded by UKRI, which allows us to pay travel and accommodation for participants.
