Welcome to OPAM's third workshop titled "Writing Reproducible Manuscripts in R using Quarto" presented by Dr. Jason Geller - Director of the Human Neuroscience Laboratory, Boston College OPAM workshops offer critical training in academic and professional skills to trainees who conduct relevant research. These workshops are completely free. WHAT WILL I LEARN IN THIS WORKSHOP? In this workshop, you will learn to set up a reproducible folder and project structure, write using Markdown for clean, structured text, run analyses directly within code chunks or cells and reference statistics in-text, manage references using Zotero and Better BibTeX, and cite them seamlessly in your manuscript, and render your Quarto document to Word (.docx), HTML, and PDF. This workshop is ideal for researchers aiming to streamline their scientific writing and adopt Open Science principles. WHY ATTEND THE WORKSHOP? Open Science practices are transforming how research is conducted, emphasising transparency, reproducibility, and collaboration. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to build a fully reproducible workflow for writing and publishing a scientific manuscript that integrates text, data, and code. We will use the Quarto publishing system (predecessor to Rmarkdown) in combination with R (or optionally Python) to produce publication-ready outputs in multiple formats. WHAT DO I NEED IN ADVANCE? Required Software ● R ● RStudio/Positron ● Quarto ● Zotero ● Better BibTeX for Zotero extension Required R Packages ● Palmerpenguins ● Tinytex ● Quarto ● Rmarkdown ● tidyverse
