Born Open Data with jsPsych

University of Oxford

Instructors: Matt Jaquiery

General Information

Open Data training aims to help researchers make their data available to others so that their results can be checked and the data reused for other purposes.

This training will teach researchers to:

Open Data training introduces you to the fundamentals of data sharing and provides you with practical tools for sharing real data. It also acts as a platform for further self-directed learning. Other UKRN Open Research topics can be found in the list of UKRN Primers.

Setup

To participate in a Born open data with jspsych workshop, you will need access to the software described below. Installing this software will take around 0 minutes. In addition, you will need an up-to-date web browser.

The Carpentries maintain a list of common issues that occur during installation as a reference for instructors that may be useful on the Configuration Problems and Solutions wiki.

Text Editor

When you're writing code, it's nice to have a text editor that is optimized for writing code, with features like automatic color-coding of key words. The default text editor on macOS and Linux is usually set to Vim, which is not famous for being intuitive. If you accidentally find yourself stuck in it, hit the Esc key, followed by :+Q+! (colon, lower-case 'q', exclamation mark), then hitting Return to return to the shell.

nano is a basic editor and the default that instructors use in the workshop. It is installed along with Git.

Install the videoconferencing client

If you haven't used Zoom before, go to the official website to download and install the Zoom client for your computer.

Set up your workspace

Like other Carpentries workshops, you will be learning by "coding along" with the Instructors. To do this, you will need to have both the window for the tool you will be learning about (a terminal, RStudio, your web browser, etc..) and the window for the Zoom video conference client open. In order to see both at once, we recommend using one of the following set up options:
