This workshop integrates materials from Valentin Danchev's Reproducible Data Science with Python, which is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0. We also draw a lot of inspiration from The Turing Way handbook, particularly the section of the Guide for Reproducible Research.
Many examples were initially developed for the Maastricht University's Global Studies Methods Track programme, and we also got inspiration from the famous Data Analysis and Visualization in Python for Ecologists by Data Carpentry.
This workshop ultimately builds up on the Coding Basics for Researchers series, organized by Carien Hilvering and Erik Jansen during the pandemic in collaboration with the Institute of Data Science, which has been adapted to the current Open Science context.
