This workshop aims to take you further down your reproducibility path, by providing concepts and tools you can use in your everyday workflows. It is discipline and experience agnostic, and no coding experience is needed.

We will also examine how Reproducible Research builds business continuity...

ALA Labs provides resources and articles from the Atlas of Living Australia's Science and Decision Support team. On the website, you can find:

• Posts: Code, articles, analyses and visualisations that will hopefully help you in your own work
• Research: Highlighted summaries of scientific...

A variety of written material describing the fundamentals of the workflows available on Biosecurity Commons as well as guides to navigating the platform.

Includes: Risk Mapping, Dispersal Modelling, Surveillance Design, Impact Analysis and Proof of Freedom.

This growing set of instructional videos teaches users how to navigate the platform and how to run the variety of workflows available on the platform. An increasing number of these videos will be embedded into the platform https://app.biosecuritycommons.org.au/

These written descriptions on how to use the EcoCommons platform, the descriptions of the variety of species distribution models (SDM) available and the how to design and run and SDM have proven very popular with students whose instructors are using EcoCommons to teach basic SDM. They also...

We compare a variety of ways of estimating the percentage of suitable habitat impacted by the massive bushfires in eastern Australia (2019-2020), by comparing different SDM modelling algorithms, and inclusion of the Habitat Condition Assessment System (HCAS) derived variable.

Models were run...

1. Examples of code and the associated text summaries describe how open ecoacoustics https://openecoacoustics.org/ data can generate better SDM predictions. By using long-term monitoring data from https://acousticobservatory.org/ which allows analysts to infer absence locations, which does a much...

This is a toy example with many of the steps required for a robust example not included. This does show how to pull together marine data from IMOS / AODN and summarise those environmental predictors and occurrence data by month. Then we show how you can pull together one model with predictors...

This set of scripts and videos provide an introduction to running SDMs in R and include some steps to consider that go beyond what's available in the EcoCommons SDM point-and-click tools.

Five videos include: 1. An introduction to SDM in R, 2. occurrence data, 3. environmental data, 4. fitting...

A set of 10 videos that provide an excellent introduction to species distribution modelling. These modules include: 1. Introduction to SDM, 2. Ecological theory of SDM, 3. Data for SDMs, 4. Design an SDM, 5. Presence only models, 6. Statistical models, 7. Machine learning models, 8. Model...

These ten videos walk users through some of the point-and-click functionality available on the EcoCommons platform including: 1. Navigating the EcoCommons platform, 2. Exploring environmental and climate grids available on the platform, 3. Importing your own data, 4. How to run a Species...

This video explains software containers to a research audience. It is an introduction to why containers are beneficial for research. These benefits are standardisation, portability, reliability and reproducibility. 

Software Containers in research are a solution that addresses the challenge of a...

CheckEM is an open-source web based application which provides quality control assessments on metadata and image annotations of fish stereo-imagery. It is available at marine-ecology.shinyapps.io/CheckEM. The application can assess a range of sampling methods and annotation data formats for...

EventMeasure annotation guide for baited remote underwater stereo video systems (stereo-BRUVs) for count and length

Stereo imagery is widely used by research institutions and management bodies around the world as a cost-effective and non-destructive method to research and monitor fish and habitats (Whitmarsh, Fairweather and Huveneers, 2017). Stereo-video can provide accurate and precise size and range...

The idea that you can duplicate an experiment and get the same conclusion is the basis for all scientific discoveries. Reproducible research is data analysis that starts with the raw data and offers a transparent workflow to arrive at the same results and conclusions. However not all studies are...
