Introduction to executable papers in Quarto and Docker (on campus)

Tue 27 May 2025, 14:00 - 15:30 BST (GMT+1)

This workshop will introduce attendees to the emerging research output of Executable Papers. Executable Papers are those that can be opened and run to produce a paper.

In this workshop you will learn how Executable Papers are an increasingly important and popular way to communicate research in a transparent and reproducible way. An explanation of the platforms and systems available will be given, before working through guided exercises using Quarto and Docker. The workshop activities will be performed in a controlled online environment with access to all of the applications required: you do not need to install anything on your own device ahead of the session. Full instructions for setting up your own device and where to access support will be sent following the workshop.

There will be time to reflect, discuss and ask questions on how you can build writing Executable Papers into your own research workflows.

This event will take place on campus, led by and developed in collaboration with Dr. Gabriel Strain, Research Associate in Computer Science.
