About the talk
Version control can be an important skill for both ensuring files are backed up adequately, and for maintaining good organisation of analysis scripts and documents. I will give a basic introduction to how GitHub might be used by academics both at an individual and at a team level.
About the talk
How do we apply open science practices to neurodevelopmental research? In this talk, Dr Hobson will discuss her experiences conducting a registered report and asking autism journals to offer this format. She will also summarise investigations into the typical statistical power of a study into developmental disorders.
