Project TIER training workshop: Teaching Reproducible Research Methods
Project TIER is offering this workshop to Local Network Leads participating in the Community Project of the UK Reproducibility Network (UKRN). It is intended primarily for faculty and staff who teach quantitative methods courses and/or supervise students conducting applied statistical research.
The workshop will give a condensed (1 hour and 45 minute) overview of the topics covered in a typical one-and-one-half-day Project TIER workshop. It will cover practical approaches to reproducible research, and strategies for incorporating them into taught courses and research supervision.
Project TIER Training for UKRN Open Research Programme
Virtual workshop, September 2025
This workshop will introduce Project TIER’s approach to integrating reproducibility into quantitative methods training. It will present essential principles and practices for conducting reproducible research, and then explore practical strategies for incorporating them into taught courses and research supervision.

Open Research Conversation: Reproducibility and the Curriculum
Reproducibility has gained significant attention in the context of research practice, yet the teaching of reproducible methods has received somewhat less consideration. In this webinar, Aneta Piekut (Sheffield Methods Institute/TIER Executive Committee) and Project TIER Directors Richard Ball and Norm Medeiros shared their experiences and perspectives on embedding reproducible workflows, data management, and transparent documentation in teaching and research advising.
Teaching Reproducible Research and Open Science Conference
Organized by Aneta Piekut (Sheffield Methods Institute/TIER Executive Committee), Jenni Adams (University Library, University of Sheffield) and Project TIER, this in-person event consisted of a one-day symposium with conference style presentations, a workshop on teaching transparent methods of empirical research, and individual and small group in-person consultations with Project TIER Directors Richard Ball and Norm Medeiros.
Reproducible Workflows: Make your life easier (and increase the value of your research)
Human Factors and Ergonomics Society: HFES
Project TIER Directors Richard Ball and Norm Medeiros discussed the benefits to researchers of adopting a reproducible workflow for computational/quantitative work. The webinar sketched out the fundamental principles of conducting reproducible research, and presented specifications for constructing documentation that is easily shareable and satisfies the policies for replication materials that are now commonly adopted by journals and funders. The examples used to illustrate reproducible practices were implemented with R Markdown, but the underlying principles can be applied to research conducted with any scriptable software package.
Panel Discussion: Teaching reproducibility in undergraduate education
This panel discussed teaching reproducibility with the TIER Protocol, involving undergraduates in replications based on restricted-access data, and other topics. Panelists included Richard Ball (Project TIER co-director), Diego Mendez-Carbajo (St. Louis Fed), and Lars Vilhuber (Cornell ILR and AEA Data Editor).
This panel was part of the Conference on Reproducibility and Replicability in Economics and the Social Sciences, a series of ten events that took place over the course of the 2022-23 academic year.
