Reproducible Social Science Research: Why and How
Because of the coronavirus pandemic, the 2020 PAA Annual Meetings, including this workshop, were cancelled.
This workshop was organized bySam Harper, a 2019-20 TIER Fellow. The objective was to provide participants with an overview of the rationale for why funders, investigators, students, and practitioners of social science research should aim to make their research transparent. Participants left the workshop with a strong grasp of why adopting transparent and reproducible research practices is important, and with some hands-on experience with the tools to do so.

Curriculum Writing Retreat
Participants at this retreat worked in a collegial and supportive atmosphere to write original soup-to-nuts exercises for use in their own classes, and to share with others by contributing them to an open access archive of curricular resources.
Faculty Development Workshop-Fall 2019
This workshop introduced participants to the TIER Protocol for replicable empirical research and other tools for research transparency. It was designed for faculty members and librarians interested in teaching students at their own institutions to adopt transparent and reproducible methods in the statistical work they do for senior theses, other independent research projects, class papers, and exercises.
