I suspect that one reason why people don’t regularly backup their work is that they aren’t aware of how easy it is these days. While everyone’s backup needs will be slightly different, here’s my take on backing up code, data and other general files. I’ve spoken previously. 8211; see my previous post. The reason I can be so obsessive compulsi...

Landscape Ecology 2.0. Intersecting landscape ecology, open science, and R. A great idea: R Markdown for Undergrads. A recently published paper by Baumer et al (2014). Caught my eye today (HT to Bruce Caron. I wanted to share it here because I thought it was cool and also had a few comments to make about some of the issues the authors raised. First, a bit about the paper. Partly in response to all the media attention to the crisis in reproducibility in science (e.g. Nature. March 1, 2014. This encouragin...

Landscape Ecology 2.0. Intersecting landscape ecology, open science, and R. Rstudio and makefiles: Mind your options! I have written this post mostly for myself. I don’t want to waste 2 hours on this problem again at some point in the future. Hopefully others might stumble on it too and save some aggravation. Here’s the makefile like the one I created:. Or so I thought. I sauntered on over to my terminal window, and confidently type. This entry was posted in Open Science. February 14, 2014. SPARROW Lake ...
