This page lists selected literature and online resources. Some are related to existing tutorial pages, while others are not. They are supposed to be of high interest to this site’s users.

Several of the resources were added based on an inspiring talk by Julia Lowndes at the SAFRED conference, Brussels, 27 Feb 2018.

Sharing data

  • Ellis & Leek (2017): guidelines for providing data to a scientist / statistician: provide raw data, format consistently, include metadata & preprocessing steps
  • Wilkinson et al. (2016): the FAIR data principles: date are to be findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable
  • Culina et al. (2018): overview of online data infrastructures and considerations to be made
  • Perkel (2016): data repository sites like github and others

Communicating

  • Smith et al. (2016): recommendations of the FORCE11 Software Citation Working Group
