Student Webinar by Steve Purves

Taking your research online with an Open Research Website

In the webinar we will cover:

  • Why create open access content
  • How to create and maintain your own Open Research website, easily
  • Minimalist writing in Markdown
  • Getting computational content online with Jupyter Notebooks
  • Organising manuscripts and supporting materials
  • Getting formal manuscripts out without rewriting your content

The lecture will be in the form of live demonstration with minimal slides. We'll actually go though the points above manually, using some sample content for a small paper and a small thesis or textbook. As data analysis is becoming more and more prevalent across the geosciences we'll also look at Jupyter Notebooks and how to effectively use these in manuscripts and online materials. At the end of the lecture, attendees will be in a position to start using the toolset demonstrated and will have sufficient context to learn more about the tools and writing methods used.
